Targeted Killings of Journalists in Gaza
The killing of journalists in the Gaza war, overwhelmingly Palestinian, along with other acts of violence against journalists, marks ... the single deadliest conflict for journalists in all known conflicts in the history of the world. ... An aggregation of data from multiple sources, including from the CPJ and the IFJ, which listed the names of all journalists hitherto reported to have been killed by Israel concluded that, by 11 August 2025, Israel had killed up to 274 journalists, with 269 of them Palestinian.

Israel does not want the world to witness its ongoing atrocities, war crimes, and acts of genocide. It does not want the world to see the unimaginable suffering of the people in Gaza. That's why Israel banned Al Jazeera in May 2024, including in East Jerusalem and the occupied Palestinian territories. This is also one of the reasons why Netanyahu opposes a ceasefire, which would allow Western journalists to enter Gaza.
