Journalist Death Toll Climbs In Netanyahu’s Israel-Gaza War

The Israel-Gaza war has become the deadliest month for journalists covering conflict since CPJ began documenting journalist fatalities in 1992.

As of November 12, CPJ’s investigations showed at least 40 journalists and media workers were among more than 12,000 killed since the war began on October 7—with more than 11,070 deaths in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank and 1,200 in Israel. This deadly toll is coupled with harassment, detentions, and other reporting obstructions in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel, and beyond.

And now that Israeli forces have begun their ground offensive into Gaza, they have told news agencies that they cannot guarantee safety of journalists working there.

CPJ is investigating all reports of journalists and media workers killed, injured, detained or missing in the war. Its list, published here, is based on information from CPJ sources in the region and media reports. It is unclear whether all journalists were covering the conflict at the time of their deaths, but CPJ has included them in our count as we investigate their circumstances. The list is being updated regularly.
