was targeted by an Israeli air strike while reporting alongside Gaza bureau
chief Wael Dahdouh, who was injured in the same attack.

Abudaqa was left to bleed to death at the Farhana school in Khan Younis,
where they were filming, as emergency workers were blocked by the Israeli
military from reaching the site.

The deadliest war for journalists

Israel’s war on Gaza has been the single deadliest conflict for journalists.

According to Brown University’s Costs of War project, more journalists have
been killed in Gaza since the war began on October 7, 2023, than in the US
Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, the wars in
the former Yugoslavia and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan – combined.

According to Reporters Without Borders, known by its French acronym RSF,
2024 was the deadliest year for journalists with more than 120 killed.
Since the start of this year, more than 50 journalists and media workers
have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza.
Targeting journalists is a war crime

Al Jazeera has condemned
<https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/11/al-jazeera-condemns-killing-of-its-journalists-by-israeli-forces-in-gaza>
the targeted killing of its correspondents as “yet another blatant and
premeditated attack on press freedom”, noting that al-Sharif and his
colleagues were among the last voices reporting from inside Gaza as
international media remained barred by Israel.

The Palestinian mission to the United Nations accused Israel of
“deliberately assassinating” al-Sharif and Qreiqeh, saying they
“systematically exposed and documented Israel’s genocide and starvation”.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s spokesperson called for an
investigation and stressed that journalists everywhere must be allowed to
work without fear of being targeted.

Amnesty International condemned the killings as a war crime and honoured
al-Sharif as a “brave and extraordinary” reporter, noting he received the
Human Rights Defender Award in 2024 for his commitment to press freedom.

Every month, 13 journalists are killed in Gaza

Nearly 270 journalists and media workers have been killed by Israeli
attacks in Gaza in 22 months of war – or about 13 journalists every month –
according to a tally by Shireen.ps <http://shireen.ps>, a monitoring
website named after Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was shot
and killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank in 2022.

What makes this statistic even more stark is that Gaza is losing voices on
the ground at a time when Israel has banned international media from
entering the besieged enclave.

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has said the killings of
journalists and their detentions since October 7, 2023, have created a news
void
<https://www.aljazeera.com/features/longform/2024/12/31/know-their-names-the-palestinian-journalists-killed-by-israel-in-gaza>
that will cause potential war crimes to go undocumented.

In June, the RSF, CPJ and news organisations published an open letter
stating that many Palestinian journalists who have been relied on by
reporters outside Gaza have faced a plethora of threats and many “face
constant threats to their lives for doing their jobs: bearing witness”.

The targeting of reporters has continued ever since despite international
condemnation of Israel’s actions.

In a statement, Amnesty International said: “Israel isn’t just
assassinating journalists but attacking journalism itself by preventing the
documentation of genocide.”

The names of the journalists and media workers killed in Israel’s war on
Gaza are listed below:
