As Israel’s war on Gaza enters its 18th month, the death toll continues to climb—over 50,000 lives lost. Among the victims are more than 250 journalists in Gaza, turning the besieged enclave into one of the deadliest places on earth for reporters.
Silencing the Story
Local journalists have been the sole witnesses to the war’s brutality, with foreign press barred from entry under Israel’s security restrictions. These reporters have risked their lives to document war crimes, civilian casualties, and the destruction of homes, hospitals, and schools. In doing so, they have become deliberate targets.
Targeted for Telling the Truth
Observers say Israel’s systematic targeting of journalists aims to suppress independent coverage and control the war narrative. By silencing local voices, Israel attempts to obscure the reality on the ground from the global audience.

Honoring the Fallen
This effort to document the deaths of journalists relies on cross-verified data from trusted sources, including Al Jazeera, Unesco, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Reporters Without Borders, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), Ana Falastin, and the Coalition for Women in Journalism.
In cases of conflicting information, priority was given to details confirmed by multiple outlets. For inconsistent spellings or dates, CPJ, Unesco, and Al Jazeera served as the primary references.
