Israel attacks press as silencing' policy: Palestinian journalists union
"Syndicate report says Israeli forces have systematically targeted journalists to undermine Palestinian narrative. Israel's systematic campaign of violence against Palestinian journalists since October 2023 has peaked in 2025 with the targeting of dozens of members of the press, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate says. In a statement released on Friday, the Freedoms Committee of the syndicate said Israel is implementing a policy of silencing the press through killing, injury and permanent disability."
"The Israeli occupation shifted from a policy of restricting journalistic work to a policy of neutralising the press through deadly force, with the aim of silencing witnesses, preventing the documentation of crimes, and undermining the Palestinian narrative on the ground, the statement said. By the end of November 2025, at least 76 Palestinian journalists had been killed and wounded by Israel, a figure the committee described as a dangerous indicator of the escalating targeting policy pursued by Israeli authorities."
