At least 79 journalists killed during Israel-Hamas war, journalism advocacy group reports

In the three months since the latest conflict between Israel and Hamas began, at least 79 journalists have been killed in Gaza, Israel, and Lebanon, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said on Monday.

As of January 8, the deaths include 72 Palestinians, four Israelis, and three Lebanese, according to CPJ's data.

The CPJ statement listed the names of all journalists killed since October 7, saying thye reporting was "based on information obtained from CPJ's sources in the region and media reports." It includes Al Jazeera photojournalist Hamza Al-Dahdouh and Palestinian freelance videographer Mustafa Thuraya, who were killed in Gaza on Sunday.

"Journalists in Gaza face particularly high risks as they try to cover the conflict during the Israeli ground assault, including devastating Israeli airstrikes, disrupted communications, supply shortages, and extensive power outages," CPJ said in the statement.
