The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), an international media group, announced on the 28th (local time) that as the war, which began with a surprise attack on Israel by Hamas, an armed group in the Palestinian Gaza Strip, continues for three weeks, 29 journalists have lost their lives while covering the war. .
The nationality of the journalists who died was Palestinian, with the largest number at 24. This was followed by Israel with 4 people and Lebanon with 1 person. In addition, eight journalists were injured and nine were reported missing or detained by Israeli forces. CPJ reported this news and disclosed the names and affiliations of dead, injured, and missing reporters.
Journalist groups and media companies that sent reporters to the site are demanding security guarantees from Israel. In a statement, Reuters condemned, “The Israeli military’s stance of not guaranteeing the safety of reporters threatens journalists who risk their lives and fear of injury or death to report on the conflict.” CPJ also said, “With the Israeli military’s declaration of ground war entering its countdown, electricity and communications were cut off in the Gaza Strip, putting reporters in the field at greater risk.” At the same time, he called for security guarantees, saying, “Journalists dispatched here are facing unprecedented threats and making enormous sacrifices in the process of covering this incident.”

However, in response to this request, Israel said, “We cannot guarantee the safety of journalists. Foreign media reported that they are maintaining their position that “we must take all necessary measures for their safety.” The Israeli military said, “We are targeting Hamas military activity areas in the Gaza Strip,” but added, “Airstrikes targeting Hamas could also damage surrounding buildings, and misfired Hamas bombs could kill civilians in the Gaza Strip.” “He warned. Some in Israel also claim that “Hamas is intentionally carrying out military operations near areas of journalists and civilians.” It is said that Hamas is intentionally conducting operations in areas where journalists can be killed to prevent attacks by the Israeli military. Hamas has not revealed its position on this.
