Gaza's Government Media Office said that 262 Palestinian journalists have been killed by Israeli attacks since the start of the war in Gaza, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
The office said an additional 433 journalists have been injured in the Israeli offensive, and estimated losses to the Palestinian media sector at more than $800 million.
Figures from a Gaza-based government body
The figures were provided by the Government Media Office, an arm of the Hamas-run administration in Gaza, and could not be independently verified. Israeli authorities have previously disputed characterizations of strikes that killed journalists, saying in some cases that individuals were combatants or that journalists were not deliberately targeted.
Independent press freedom organizations, including the Committee to Protect Journalists, have separately documented a significant number of journalist deaths during the war, describing it as one of the deadliest conflicts for media workers in recent history, though exact tallies have varied between monitoring groups.
Details on the methodology used by the Government Media Office to compile its figures, or on the specific incidents included in the count, were not included in the available report.
