The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) has reported that at least 219 Palestinian journalists and media workers have been killed by Israeli military attacks since October 7, 2023, including 30 women.
In a statement carried by the Palestinian news agency Wafa and reported by Al Jazeera, the PJS condemned the Israeli army’s "continued systematic policy of targeting and killing journalists" along with their families.
The syndicate added that at least 430 journalists have been injured and 685 family members of media personnel have been killed in the same period. Additionally, over 1,000 journalists in Gaza are enduring repeated displacement due to relentless bombardment and siege conditions.
The PJS accused Israel of deliberately silencing Palestinian media voices and called for international intervention to protect journalists in conflict zones.
