The Israeli military has systematically targeted Palestinian journalists in Gaza, recently killing six in a tent with media workers. Among the deceased was Al Jazeera's Anas al-Sharif. The United States and Western allies provide Israel military and political support, leading to impunity in these actions. Western media often criticize adversaries but remain silent on attacks against Palestinian journalists. International law considers the targeting of journalists a war crime. Since October 2023, 192 journalists have been killed, predominantly Palestinians, highlighting a severe crisis in journalist safety in the region.
Israel has systemically targeted and killed Palestinian journalists in Gaza, with 192 journalists killed since the October 2023 Hamas attack, 184 being Palestinians killed by Israel.
Western media's hypocrisy is evident as they criticize governmental actions in adversary states but maintain silence regarding Israel's actions against journalists.
International law protects journalists as civilians, and the targeted killing of journalists is classified as a war crime.
The number of journalists killed in Gaza surpasses casualties from significant historical conflicts combined, reflecting the severity of violence against media workers.
