"Israel-Gaza Conflict Pushes 2023 Journalist Deaths to Record High"

The Israel-Gaza war in 2023 resulted in the deaths of over three quarters of the 99 journalists and media workers killed worldwide, with the majority being Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza. The conflict claimed more journalist lives in three months than in any single country over an entire year. Investigating these war-related deaths was particularly challenging due to the large number of deaths in a short time and the loss of those who could have provided more information. The global total of journalist killings in 2023 was the highest since 2015, with a record number of work-related journalist killings. Targeted murders of journalists in direct reprisal for their work persisted in 2023, with cases recorded in nine countries. The Committee to Protect Journalists continues to investigate and document these journalist deaths, facing challenges in obtaining information and justice for the victims.

"Israeli Army's Shifting Stance on Gaza Journalist Strike Sparks ICC Probe"

The Israeli military's justification for targeting a vehicle in Gaza and killing two Al Jazeera journalists appears to have shifted, with an army spokesperson describing the incident as "unfortunate" and stating that an investigation is ongoing. The Committee to Protect Journalists has called for an independent investigation, emphasizing that journalists using equipment like cameras and drones for their work should not be considered terrorists or targeted. The Al Jazeera Media Network strongly condemned the attack, which occurred as the journalists were attempting to interview civilians displaced by previous bombings, and highlighted the need for legal action against the Israeli occupation forces.

Israeli Military's Targeting of Journalists and Families in Gaza Sparks Outrage and Concern

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has accused the Israeli military of targeting journalists and their families in Gaza, resulting in the highest death toll of media workers in any recent conflict. The CPJ documented at least 68 journalists and media workers killed since the Hamas cross-border attack in October. The CPJ expressed concern over the apparent pattern of targeting journalists and their families by the Israeli military, calling for an end to the impunity in such cases. Reporters Without Borders also warned that journalism is being eradicated in Gaza due to Israel's refusal to protect media personnel. Israel denies targeting journalists, claiming to only target Hamas. The CPJ called for more transparency from Israel regarding the rules of engagement for soldiers dealing with media workers.
