The director of the Gaza Government Media Office said Israel has killed 263 journalists and media workers during its genocide, according to Middle East Eye. The statement did not specify the exact timeframe beyond "three years," though the context suggests the claim covers the period since Israel's 2023 military campaign in Gaza.
International press freedom organizations have documented casualties among journalists covering the war, though casualty figures vary depending on the source and methodology used to verify deaths.
