A black and white mural of Shireen Abu Akleh with the slogan 'coverage continues' were taken down as an unknown person or group had vandalized it by adding black paint on it.

"They want to kill her after they killed her..." a person tweeted as social media users and pro-Palestinian advocates expressed their anger over vandalizing the portrait of the Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh who was killed in the Jenin refugee camp in clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces.

However, others justified that the Al Jazeera journalist will remain in Palestinians' hearts and even if they wiped off her picture from the wall, they will never be able to erase the truth that they 'killed her'.
