At least 26,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war in Gaza, and that death toll includes journalists. Since Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, and Israel's bombardments on Gaza that followed, NGOs have been documenting the killings of journalists.

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and Reporters Without Borders (RSF) use different methods to report on these killings. As of January 30, the CPJ reported that at least 85 journalists and media workers had been killed since October 7, and that 78 were Palestinian. The IFJ said 99 journalists had been killed as of January 30, with Palestinian journalists counting for 92 of those deaths. RSF reported that 20 journalists had been killed from 2023 to January 30, 2024.

The CPJ and IFJ's counts are higher because they both count media support workers, like translators, drivers and fixers in their tolls. RSF only lists journalists killed "if their death was linked to their journalistic activity," meaning if they were killed while working or because of their work.

It's hard to prove if journalists in Gaza are being targeted by Israel because of their profession. The CPJ and RSF have called for investigations into some of their killings.
