The death of the Palestinian reporter, who was also a U.S. citizen, caused an international outcry.
An Israeli military investigation concluded that the shooting could not be clearly attributed but was “very likely’’ accidentally fired by an Israeli soldier.
There was also a firefight with Palestinian militants during the operation. No criminal investigation was launched.
In December, Al Jazeera took the case to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. It accused Israel of directly firing on the journalist and her colleagues.
The broadcaster said the perpetrators would have to be held accountable and brought to justice.
