The number of journalists who lost their lives as a result of the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since last October 7 has exceeded the total number of journalists killed in the world in 2021 and 2022.

The Israeli army, which has continued to bomb the Gaza Strip by land, sea and air for more than 3 months, has killed a large number of media workers and civilians.

As a result of the Israeli attacks, more than 23,000 people were killed in Gaza, where about 2.3 million Palestinians live, and about 59,000 others were injured, including at least 10,000 children and 7,000 women.

In addition to civilians, Israeli forces, in their attacks on Gaza, targeted journalists who enjoy immunity under international law.

According to data from international organizations, 109 journalists and media workers were killed in 2021 and 2022 around the world.

Data from the Gaza government press office indicate that the number of journalists killed as a result of Israeli attacks since last October 7 has reached 112 journalists.

This reveals that the number of journalists killed by Israel in Gaza within 3 months is more than the total number of journalists killed in the world during the years 2021 and 2022.

While Israel does not refrain from shooting journalists, their families, and their work offices, members of the press in Gaza risk their lives to inform the world of the cruelty of the Israeli attacks on the Strip.

Despite the violent Israeli attacks, journalists in Gaza carry out a mission that goes beyond what is entrusted to them and sacrifice their lives to convey the true picture in the Strip to the entire world.

In addition to the Israeli attacks, Gaza's journalists struggle to access electricity and the Internet to report the events to the world.

One of the journalists killed as a result of the Israeli attacks on Gaza was Anatolia photographer Montaser Al-Sawaf, who insisted on continuing his work despite losing his family and 45 relatives in raids in the northern Gaza Strip on November 18.

In that attack, Al-Sawaf lost 45 of his relatives, including his father, Mustafa Al-Sawaf, his mother, two brothers, and their children, and he himself was injured.

Despite his injury, Al-Sawaf, who continued to remain in northern Gaza, devoted himself to conveying what was happening in the region to the world. He was roaming northern Gaza on his bicycle because he could not find fuel, and he was able to take important pictures that showed the extent of the violence of the Israeli attacks in the region.

Al-Sawaf lost his life, along with his brother Marwan, in another Israeli air strike in front of his house early last December.

Al Jazeera Qatari correspondent Wael Al-Dahdouh lost his wife, son, daughter, and granddaughter in an Israeli raid that targeted a house to which they were displaced in the middle of the Gaza Strip in October 2023.

Several weeks later, he himself was injured and his colleague, photographer Samer Abu Daqqa, was killed by an Israeli bombing while they were covering the course of the war in the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian journalist was recently shocked by the killing of his eldest son, Hamza, in an Israeli raid that targeted his car in the city of Khan Yunis.

Following the killing of his son Hamza, the Palestinian journalist mourned his son, saying: “There is nothing more difficult than the pain and pain of loss, so how about if the loss is the firstborn child then the pleasure of the liver. Hamza is not a part of me, Hamza was all of me. The soul of the soul and everything.”

Ali Jadallah, a photojournalist with Anatolia, was also not spared from the Israeli raids that targeted his home last October 11, and as a result he lost at least 8 members of his family, including his father and brothers.

Unable to find a coffin or a transport vehicle, Jadallah transported his father's body to the cemetery in the back seat of his car.

Jadallah, who dedicates himself to informing the world about the violence of Israeli attacks and the ongoing humanitarian tragedy in Gaza, continues his journalistic work valiantly in the region, defying all conditions of danger.
