The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) and Reporters Without Borders have raised the alarm over the number of journalists who have died in Gaza since Israel began its bombardment of the territory in retaliation for Hamas’ deadly terror attacks on October 7.
The PJS said in a release on Monday that 11 journalists have died and another 20 have been injured in Gaza in the Israeli offensive on the Palestinian territory.
The journalists guild, which has branches in the West Bank and Gaza, said 48 newsrooms had been either destroyed or partially damaged in the Israeli bombing campaign.
According to the PJS, there are roughly 1,200 registered journalists based in Gaza.
The PJS statement comes as the overall death toll in the explosion of violence sparked by the Hamas attack continues to rise.
At least 1,300 people died and 3,227 people were injured in Israel, while 199 were taken hostage, in the Hamas attack, according to latest figures from the Israeli authorities.
In Gaza, 2,750 people have died and more than 10,000 people have been injured, according to figures released by the Gaza Health Authority.
More than million Gaza residents are also on the move after Israel airdropped leaflets on the north of the territory on Friday telling people to head south for their own safety.
Israeli troops are currently massing on Israel’s border with northern Gaza ahead of an expected ground invasion aimed at eliminating Hamas. The latter body, which has ruled Gaza since 2007, is designated as a terror organisation by the U.S., UK and the European Union.
The deceased journalists, according to the PJS, included Mohammad Al-Salhi, Mohammad Jarghoun and Mohammad Lafi, who were reportedly shot dead in separate incidents.
