The deadliest conflict for journalists in modern history

Force in Play

Active

More journalists have been killed covering the Gaza war than in any armed conflict in modern history. Since October 2023, Israeli strikes have killed over 260 Palestinian journalists—more than the combined journalist death toll from World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. On January 21, 2026, three more were killed in a strike on their vehicle while documenting aid distribution for an Egyptian relief organization, despite an ongoing ceasefire and clear humanitarian markings. The Committee to Protect Journalists has determined that at least 64 were directly targeted.
