Israel-Hamas war in Gaza the deadliest on record for journalists who describe killings, attacks and arrests

Journalists killed in GazaAlmost 12 months of unbridled war, death, destruction and suffering in Gaza have proved the deadliest conflict on record for journalists. One year in, NBC News has spoken to 21 media professionals and organizations in the region who described killings, attacks and arrests by Israeli forces.

As of Aug. 31, 116 journalists had been killed since Oct. 7, according to statistics from the Committee to Protect Journalists, a nonprofit based in New York. The majority, 111, were Palestinians killed in Gaza, three were Lebanese and two were Israeli journalists killed by Hamas militants on Oct. 7. Another 35 have been injured. Other monitoring groups have compiled far higher figures.

The Israeli military has said it “takes all operationally feasible measures to mitigate harm to civilians including journalists” and “it does not deliberately shoot at civilians, including journalists.”

But based on their personal experiences in the field or managing colleagues from outside Gaza, some journalists have come to believe that Israel is targeting media workers.

Among them are Christina Assi and Dylan Collins, who were wounded by shellfire on Oct. 13 while covering cross-border clashes between the Israeli army and armed groups near the village of Alma Al-Chab, in southern Lebanon.

Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah, 37, was killed instantly in the same strikes, which came just over 30 seconds apart. Condemning his killing, Reuters Editor-in-Chief Alessandra Galloni said the evidence “shows that an Israeli tank crew killed our colleague.”
