Union reports 108 attacks on Palestinian journalists in July, according to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, which highlights a sharp increase in threats against media workers (aljazeera.com). The organization claims over 270 journalists have been killed in Gaza since October 2023, underscoring a severe escalation in violence targeting the press. These attacks include shootings, kidnappings, and physical assaults, often carried out by armed groups or security forces. The Syndicate warns that the situation poses a serious risk to the safety and independence of Palestinian media. Many journalists have been forced to leave their posts or suspend their work due to the dangers. The figures reveal a troubling trend of increasing hostility toward the media in the region. The Union of Palestinian Journalists calls for international attention and protection for journalists working in conflict zones.
