Any conclusive answer is likely to prove elusive because of deep distrust between the two sides.

Each is in sole possession of potentially crucial evidence.

Eyewitness accounts, as well as videos taken during an Israeli raid in the Jenin refugee camp on May 11, pinpoint the location of the Israeli soldiers, Palestinian militants and a group of reporters, including Abu Akleh.
