‘Daily Maverick’ honours’ scroll of journalists killed in first 10 weeks of Israel-Gaza war
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) found more journalists were killed in the first 10 weeks of Israel’s war on Gaza than in a single country over an entire year. In Iraq, the only country to approach this toll in a single year, 56 journalists were killed in 2006.
According to the CPJ, ‘the first 10 weeks of the Israel-Gaza war have been the deadliest recorded for journalists, with the most journalists killed in a single year in one location’.
The Committee says the scale and circumstances of the killings, including direct threats to reporters and their families by Israeli officials, is evidence that Palestinian reporters in Gaza are being targeted
Under the Geneva Conventions, during armed conflict, journalists must be protected and allowed to report on events as long as they don’t directly take part in hostilities. The Conventions state that propaganda is not considered direct participation.
Journalists working for Hamas-affiliated media organisations or Israeli networks are to be protected alike.
Al Jazeera has demanded that the International Criminal Court add these killings to its investigation of Israel’s other alleged breaches of the Geneva Conventions across occupied Palestine.
Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh says: ‘The world must see with their eyes, not Israel’s eyes.’
The Palestinian journalists are the world’s eyes because Israel has placed a ban on foreign coverage of the war
Other than for a few embedded Western journalists, Al-Dahdouh and his colleagues have told the story of the Gaza War.
On 6 November 2023, six media professionals were killed in 24 hours in Gaza. The United Nations decried the attacks. Among those killed were Sari Mansour and Hassouneh Salim, who were reporting from the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
On Tuesday, 16 January 2024, Al-Dahdouh left Gaza, crossed into Egypt, and then flew to Qatar for medical treatment. He has come to symbolise both the suffering and resilience of Palestinian journalists in Gaza.
In October, four members of his family were killed, including his wife, 15-year-old son, seven-year-old daughter and his grandson, in an Israeli strike on a refugee camp where they were seeking shelter after their home had been bombed.
As of 19 January 2023, 90 journalists and media workers were confirmed dead: 83 Palestinian, four Israeli and three Lebanese. The Gaza media office and Palestinian Ministry of Health put the number much higher: 119.
Sixteen journalists were reported injured, with three – Oded Lifschitz (Al-Hamishmar and Haaretz), Nidal Al-Wahidi (Al Najah) and Haitham Abdelwahid (Ain Media) – reported missing on 7 October 2023. Twenty-one journalists were arrested, including reports of multiple assaults, threats, cyberattacks, censorship and killings of family members.
The outcry from media organisations is growing, with the International Press Institute issuing a strong call last week to ensure the safety of journalists operating in Gaza and to enable media to operate independently.
It is a tragedy, a travesty, a war crime. But in an ongoing war in which more than 25,000 people have been killed in just more than 100 days, most of them women and children, there has not been time to mourn their passing
We do so now and will keep this roll of honour updated.
These are their names. We remember them. We honour them. Our scroll of honour, which we will update, is built in ascending order by date.
