At least 36 journalists have been killed since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas on October 7th, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. 31 Palestinian journalists, four Israeli journalists, and one Lebanese journalist have been killed in the conflict, with 12 journalists killed in the past eight days alone.
The conflict has been ongoing for over two months, with an estimated 10,000 people killed in Gaza and the West Bank, and 1,400 in Israel. The Israeli military has been thrusting deeper into the Gaza Strip in a ground assault, encircling the Palestinian enclave’s biggest city and cutting off the main roads connecting its north and south.
In response to the conflict, Israel launched airstrikes at the territory and declared war. However, there has been no clear, publicly stated plan from Israel about how this campaign might end. Experts have been forced to read between the lines of nonspecific military briefings, satellite imagery, and shaky footage from the battlefield.
The deaths of journalists in the conflict have been a tragedy, and the Committee to Protect Journalists is calling for an end to the violence. They are also urging all sides to ensure the safety of journalists covering the conflict and to investigate any attacks against them.
