Claims say 220 journalists were killed in Gaza since October 2023. Really!

I bet, these claims are similarly exaggerated as the repeated claims of famine in Gaza!

Who were these dead journalists? How many were members of Hamas? How many were armed? How many of them served deliberately or involuntarily as human shields for Hamas? How many were not killed by IDF but oterwise? How many of them were really journalists? We will probably never learn!

About 270 media outlets worldwide are protesting the killing of journalists in Gaza. Were these outlets also protesting about journalists being members of Hamas?

"According to RSF data, 220 journalists have been killed by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip in less than 23 months. ...

Today, hundreds of media outlets in over 50 countries are mobilising in solidarity with Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip, alongside RSF and Avaaz. This international operation consists of an entire or partial blackout of the front pages of print media, banners on online news sites, and audio or video messages broadcast by radio and television stations. ..."

RSF and Avaaz launch international media operation: “At the rate journalists are being killed in Gaza by the Israeli army, there will soon be no one left to keep you informed” | RSF "Hundreds of media outlets, brought together by the campaigning platform Avaaz and Reporters Without Borders (RSF), are waging a campaign calling for the protection of Palestinian journalists in Gaza, the emergency evacuation of reporters seeking to leave the Strip, an end to impunity for Israeli crimes against Gaza’s reporters and that foreign press be granted independent access to the territory."
