Following her coverage of an IDF raid in Jenin camp, Shireen was transported to Ibn Sina Hospital, where medical professionals pronounced her dead.

On November 17, 2023, Israeli soldiers surrounded at least four hospitals, including Ibn Sina Hospital, in the occupied West Bank. During a raid at Ibn Sina Hospital, medical staff were instructed to raise their hands and evacuate. Some doctors resisted evacuation, and two paramedics were reportedly arrested during the incident, as stated by Khairat.[4]
