According to major international watchdogs and news organizations, the number of journalists and media workers killed by Israeli armed forces since the start of the Gaza operation (October 7, 2023, through August 12, 2025) ranges between at least 240 and nearly 270:

Most of those killed have been Palestinian journalists. Independent organizations such as the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) confirm that over 186 journalists have been definitively identified as killed, with the number continuing to rise as the conflict extends. International press watchdogs and major media bodies consistently describe Gaza as the world’s most dangerous place for journalists during this conflict, and several organizations—including the UN—have publicly called for independent investigations into the systematic targeting of journalists by Israeli forces.wikipedia+3
