Lyse Doucet pays tribute to a journalist who inspired many in the Arab world and assesses the void she leaves behind.
Shireen Abu Aqla was a household name across the Arab world - literally.
Abu Aqla made her mark among Israelis, too. "Israeli soldiers would shout from a bullhorn and also mimic her TV sign off" - another of her Al Jazeera colleagues, Linah Al Saafin, shared on social media.In the Arab world, she was the face and voice of a daily digest of war and peace in the wake of the 1993 Oslo Accords.Living in Jerusalem then, I remember her in the scrums of journalists covering a conflict which rarely left the headlines.
Now, in that same northern town, she became the biggest of news herself as she reported on an Israeli raid.
