Israel has killed 259 media workers

According to the latest figures from the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Israel has killed 259 media workers in the conflict since the Hamas terror attack on October 7, 2023, 210 of them Palestinian journalists inside Gaza. An additional 11 Lebanese reporters were killed in their home country in this conflict, while two Israeli journalists have been killed by Hamas, and one Palestinian media worker was killed by an armed group in Gaza.

This number dwarfs the death toll for journalists for all other wars going back to 1992 — and is a figure so staggering that it reframes journalism itself as a battleground. In Gaza, being a reporter is not just choosing a profession; it is also a potentially life-and-death decision. - GIJN
