The Israel-Hamas war has claimed the lives of more than 70 journalists
Newsy
A drone strike that killed two is just the latest incident that shows how dangerous Gaza has become for journalists trying to cover the war.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, at least 79 journalists have been killed since the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict on Oct. 7.
Gaza's Hamas-run Government Media Office puts the number even higher, saying at least 115 journalists have been killed.
This week two journalists — Hamza al-Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya — were killed, and a third was seriously injured after the IDF targeted their vehicle in a drone strike.
Hamza was the son of Al-Jazeera Gaza bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh — who had already lost his wife, two other children and grandson in October in an Israeli airstrike.
The IDF initially told the Times of Israel that the journalists were traveling with a "terror operative" who was flying a drone that put IDF forces at risk.
