Israel Committed Two-Thirds of Press Killings in 2025
The Committee to Protect Journalists recorded 129 deaths worldwide in 2025, with about two-thirds linked to Israel, marking the deadliest year on record since data collection began.
- On Wednesday, the Committee to Protect Journalists said a record 129 journalists were killed worldwide in 2025, blaming Israel for roughly two-thirds of those deaths.
- Over three‑quarters of the fatalities occurred in conflict zones, and drones killed 39 journalists this year, including 28 by Israel's military in Gaza.
- The CPJ report details that Israeli forces killed 86 members of the press during the 12-month period, with more than 60% being Palestinian journalists reporting from Gaza; major attacks included a bombing in Yemen killing 31 and a double-tap strike on Nasser Hospital killing five.
- Despite those calls, few investigations have been transparent and accountability is lacking, with Mexico recording six unsolved journalist killings and 329 imprisoned journalists as of December 1, 2025.
- Since October 2023, CPJ data show Israel's assault on Gaza killed 252 journalists and media workers, while the CPJ warned that media restrictions mean the toll is "far higher".
