“A record 129 journalists and media workers were killed in the course of their work in 2025, two-thirds of them by Israeli forces, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). It was the second consecutive year in which killings of members of the press reached unprecedented levels, and the second year running in which Israel was responsible for roughly two-thirds of the total, the New York-based independent organisation, which documents attacks on journalists worldwide, said in its annual report published on Wednesday. … Israel was responsible for 81% of the 47 killings that the CPJ classified as intentionally targeted, or ‘murder.’ It said the actual figure was probably higher, owing to access restrictions that made verification difficult in Gaza.” (02/25/26)
