The Israel-Hamas conflict has resulted in a high number of journalist casualties, with 85 journalists killed in the Gaza war, marking the deadliest period for the press in 30 years. The Committee to Protect Journalists reported that of the 99 journalists killed globally in 2023, 72 were Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Evidence suggests that the IDF may have deliberately targeted 12 journalists during the conflict, making it the deadliest period for the media in almost a decade.
