A total of 256 Palestinian journalists have been killed since the conflict between Hamas and Israel erupted on Oct 7, 2023, with Gaza being the place where most of the killings happened, according to a report released by the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) on Monday.
The report said that 2025 is one of the most bloody and dangerous years for Palestinian journalism with 63 media workers being killed in the year.
In 2025, multiple journalists were killed when reporting in places such as Gaza due to direct airstrikes, gunshots and targeted attacks happened when they were performing their duties, the report said.
Palestinian journalists are facing pressures from severe injuries due to gunshots and explosions, detention and administrative imprisonment, obstruction of interviews, and lengthy interrogations, the report said, adding that some media institutions, offices, and broadcasting and filming equipment were destroyed, resulting in weakened ability to report from the scene.
At least four Palestinians were killed, and two others wounded on Monday in an Israeli airstrike on a tent sheltering displaced people in southern Gaza, according to Palestinian medical sources and eyewitnesses.
The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement Monday that it struck "in accordance with the ceasefire agreement" a Hamas militant who was planning "an imminent attack" against Israeli troops in southern Gaza.
"Troops in the Southern Command remain deployed and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat," it said.
