A total of 263 Palestinian journalists have been killed since the start of the war in Gaza, according to figures released by a Gaza media office.
The office said the latest journalist killed was Muhammad Abdel Aziz al-Najjar, who died in what was described as a fresh Israeli drone strike. Details on the specific circumstances of the strike, including its exact location and timing, were not fully specified in available reporting.
Ongoing Toll on Media Workers
The reported death toll among journalists reflects the broader scale of casualties documented throughout the conflict in Gaza, and press freedom organizations have repeatedly raised concerns about the risks faced by media workers covering the war. Figures on journalist deaths in the conflict have generally been compiled by Palestinian and international press freedom groups, though such tallies can vary depending on the criteria used to classify individuals as journalists or media workers.
The Israeli military has not been quoted in available reporting responding specifically to the reported death of al-Najjar or to the broader figures released by the Gaza media office.
Independent verification of individual strike incidents in Gaza has often been difficult given restricted access for outside journalists and investigators.
