At least 69 journalists were killed between Israel and Gaza war since October 7. 62 among them are Palestinian journalists were killed by Israeli strike in Gaza Strip, 4 Israeli, and 3 Lebanese journalists were also killed. 15 journalists were reported injured, 3 journalists were reported missing and 20 journalists were reported arrested.

Al Jazeera has referred the “assassination” of its journalist Samer Abu Daqqa to the International Criminal Court. The Al Jazeera cameraman died on Friday after going to Farhana school in the southern city of Khan Younis after it was hit by a strike earlier in the day. While he was there, a missile the Qatari-based network says was fired by an Israeli drone hit the school with a second strike, badly injuring Abu Daqqa.

The Israeli military prevented emergency services from reaching him, resulting in him bleeding to death.

“We decided to urgently refer the case of the assassination of our colleague photographer Samer Abu Daqqa to the International Criminal Court,” Al Jazeera tweeted on Saturday.   

Journalists in Gaza face particularly high risks as they try to cover the conflict in the face of an Israeli ground assault on Gaza City, devastating Israeli airstrikes, disrupted communications, and extensive power outages.

Abdelrahman tells Al Jazeera, adding that journalists wearing clearly marked press vests and helmets have been targeted.

“We can’t cover the site of massacres or even get to the places that have been bombed for fear that another Israeli attack will target the same area,” Abdelrahman said to Al Jazeera.

“Every second you are in danger. Our colleagues have paid the price with their lives, such as Saeed al-Taweel, Mohammed Subh and Hisham Alnwajha.”, He added.   

“When there is no internet, this results in censoring the journalist as they cannot report on information or news in different areas in the Gaza Strip,” Shorouq Shaheen, a correspondent for Syria TV says.

Journalists are being mostly targeted in the war. AlAraby TV correspondent Ahmed Darawsha was threatened and screamed when he was covering live on the ground in Ashdod, Israel. An Israeli police officer was interrupting during live and threatened him, said Ahmed Darawsha.

The war between Israel and Gaza has resulted in hostile treatment and targeting of the media and journalists. Israel decided to shut down Al Jazeera and threatened to ban BBC from the country. This is a reflection of extreme hateful behavior on the media.
