The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) says 219 Palestinian journalists and media personnel have been killed by Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023, including 30 women.

The organisation condemned the Israeli army’s “continued systematic policy of targeting and killing journalists” and their families, reported Al Jazeera, quoting a statement by the Palestinian Wafa news agency.

The PJS added that Israel has wounded at least 430 journalists and killed 685 family members of Palestinian journalists during the same period. At least 1,000 journalists in Gaza are living in repeated displacement, it added.
