A top Israeli official has confirmed the existence of a US investigation into the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh but said Israel’s government would not cooperate with the American probe, calling it a “mistake.”

Defense Minister Benny Gantz revealed details of the previously unknown investigation by the Justice Department into the death of the Al Jazeera correspondent, who was shot dead during an Israeli military operation in the West Bank city of Jenin in May.

“I have delivered a message to US representatives that we stand by [Israeli] soldiers, that we will not cooperate with an external investigation, and will not enable intervention to internal investigations,” Gantz tweeted on Monday.

Abu Akleh was wearing a protective vest labeled “Press” on the front and back, at the time of her death. While an IDF official previously said Israeli soldiers believed Palestinian militants were firing at them, CNN’s investigation found that there was no active combat, nor any Palestinian militants, near Abu Akleh in the moments leading up to her death.
