The frequent critic of Israeli policies toward the Palestinians on Wednesday tweeted that "Israeli snipers" had shot and killed the reporter for "telling inconvenient truths."

Sarandon questioned the longstanding bipartisan relationship between the United States and Israel by putting "allies" in quotes in her tweet.

Abu Akleh was killed on Wednesday morning while covering an Israeli counterterrorism operation in the West Bank city of Jenin.

Her employer, the Qatar-owned Al Jazeera media outlet, immediately blamed Israel for her death, as did the Palestinians.

However, Israeli officials say Palestinian gunmen may have fired the fatal shot.

A video was shared by Israeli officials of a Palestinian gunman firing indiscriminately followed by a voice off-camera saying that they had shot an Israeli soldier who was lying on the ground. However, no Israeli soldiers were wounded in the clashes and the only person lying on the ground was Abu Akleh.

The Palestinian Authority has rejected Israeli calls for a joint investigation and refused to hand over the bullet that killed Abu Akleh for ballistics testing.
