Where were the Palestinian gunmen?
Videos from the morning show a man shooting down an alleyway in Jenin’s refugee camp, in the northern West Bank.
3 landmarks, the corner of a building, a building with a red roof, and what appears to be a graveyard help geolocate the image

How about the Israeli soldiers?
Another video shows Israeli soldiers coming from the city's west, driving east.
The same building with the 3 water tankers where the Palestinian gunmen were firing is visible in the clip, suggesting that the soldiers were somewhere to the west

Where was the fighting?
It is impossible from the available evidence to say exactly where the fighting took place, but the direction of fire of the Palestinians and the location of the Israeli forces suggest there was gunfire to the west of the graveyard and to the south

An NGO researcher visited the scene where the footage of the Palestinian gunmen was taken and walked to where Abu Akleh was hit, going down several streets and narrow alleys ⤵️
They concluded that it was impossible for her to have been hit from where the Palestinians were shooting
