Al Jazeera analysis indicates that since October 7, 2023, Israel's operations in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of approximately 250 journalists, exceeding the total number of journalists killed in all wars over the past 150 years. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has called this "the deadliest, most deliberate killing and suppression of journalists" in its records. The article criticizes Western media for failing to support vulnerable journalists in Gaza in their reporting, instead amplifying Israeli narratives, such as using passive voice when reporting Palestinian deaths and exaggerating claims that "Hamas uses civilians as human shields."
