Ok, so I went and read Al Jazeera, which I would assume would give the most biased POV from the Palestinian side: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/5/12/funeral-service-shireen-abu-akleh-set-start-ramallah

She was standing somewhere with 3 other journalists and another journalist got hit by a bullet as well. They all seem to be palestinians, and claim that Israelis shot them directly and there was no Palestinian fighter nearby.

If what they say is true, its possible it was a rogue Israeli soldier or a misidentification. Its hard to believe that the govt would want to murder journalists and create a PR disaster for no reason. Of course the journalists could also be lying. The 4th journalist hasn't spoken, but other 3 called Israel 'occupiers', so there is bias.

No one can say definitely what happened
