At least 42 journalists and media workers have been killed since October 7, according to an investigation by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).

According to Al Jazeera, this marks the most deadly period for journalists since CPJ’s data collection began in 1992.

As of Monday, “42 journalists and media workers were confirmed dead: 37 Palestinian, four Israeli, and one Lebanese. Nine journalists were reported injured. Three journalists were reported missing. Thirteen journalists were reported arrested”, the group said in a statement.

Journalists covering the war have also experienced “multiple assaults, threats, cyberattacks, censorship, and killings of family members”.
