At least 82 journalists have been killed in Gaza, Israel and Lebanon since October 7, 2023, when the latest conflict between Israel and Hamas began, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Saturday.
The casualties include 75 Palestinians in Gaza, four Israelis and three Lebanese journalists, according to CPJ's data.
The CPJ statement listed the names of all journalists killed since October 7 "based on information obtained from CPJ's sources in the region and media reports," including Palestinian journalists Ahmed Bdeir and Mohamed Jamal Sobhi Al-Thalathini, who were killed this past week in separate airstrikes in southern Gaza.
It is "the deadliest period for journalists since CPJ began gathering data in 1992," according to the organization.
