Forbidden Stories: Investigating journalist killings in Gaza

Mere om

“Whereas this press vest was supposed to identify and protect us, according to international laws, international conventions and the Geneva Conventions, it is now a threat to us,” says Basel Khair Al-Din, a Palestinian journalist in Gaza, who believes he was targeted by a drone strike while wearing a press vest.“It’s this vest that almost got us killed, as has happened to so many of our fellow journalists and media workers.” Since 7th Oct. 2023, Israel has killed scores of journalists in Gaza. The Gaza Project by Forbidden Stories investigated the circumstances of 170 of these killings, as well as those who have been targeted, threatened and injured in Gaza. The investigations point to a pattern and suggest some journalists may have been targeted even though they were identifiable as press.
