Sputnik Brazil Israel bombed the headquarters of the Palestinian television channel AlAqsa in Gaza City, killing 13 employees of the media company. However, this was not the only Israeli attack targeting Palestinian media.
A day earlier, television director Muhammed alSaidi was murdered along with several members of his family in an Israeli airstrike on his home in Nuseirat in the center of the Gaza Strip. Communications professor Rizq Arrouq was also recently killed in an airstrike on his home.
The confrontation in Gaza proved particularly deadly for journalists, said the Committee to Protect Journalists, an American nonprofit organization that advocates for journalists' rights and press freedom worldwide.
According to the NGO, its preliminary investigations indicated at least 69 dead journalists and media workers as of December 2023, among the more than 21,000 deaths since the conflict began on October 7.

Of these, 62 are Palestinians, four Israelis and three Lebanese, he emphasized. Another 15 journalists were injured, three are missing and another 20 were arrested. In comparison, the NGO Reporters Without Borders reports that 63 journalists died during the 20year Vietnam War.
