B'Tselem in response to the military's announcement on the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh:

It's not an investigation, it's whitewash; it was no mistake, it's policy.

Enormous public and international pressure was needed to make Israel spurt a faint confession that one of its soldiers had killed journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, while at the same time shaking off any responsibility for her death.

The killing of Abu Akleh is the predictable result of Israel’s outrageous open fire policy in the Occupied Territories. This policy claims more and more victims while the whitewash continues undisturbed.
