Palestine

129 journalists killed globally in 2025, highest in 3 decades.
'Israel' responsible for two-thirds of journalist deaths, mostly via drone strikes in Palestine.

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) reported that 129 journalists were killed worldwide in 2025, marking the deadliest year for media workers in over 30 years. The organization warned that this surge reflects a collapse in protections for journalists operating in conflict zones.

Targeted Attacks via Drones

The CPJ held 'Israel' responsible for killing two-thirds of journalists over the past two years. According to the report, 'Israel’s' military has carried out deliberate operations against media workers, the largest of any army since 1992.

The committee highlighted that 75% of drone strike incidents targeting journalists occurred in the Gaza Strip, aimed at silencing independent reporting.

Impunity and Ongoing Atrocities

Many journalists were killed while covering humanitarian crises, including famine and conflict. The CPJ warned that continued impunity undermines global efforts to protect press freedom.

The Gaza government media office reported that 260 journalists have been killed since the start of what it calls a genocidal war, attributing full responsibility to 'Israel' and its allied states.

The report underscores the urgent need for international mechanisms to hold perpetrators accountable and safeguard journalists operating in the world’s most dangerous regions.
