At least 21 media representatives have been killed in the war between Israel and Hamas. Eight more journalists have been injured, and three are missing or detained.
This was reported by the Committee to Protect Journalists, a non-profit organization that defends press rights around the world, citing information from its own sources in the region and media reports. It is noted that 17 Palestinians, three Israelis, and one Lebanese are among the victims.
The organization emphasized that it continues to monitor the deaths of journalists and investigate unconfirmed reports of their murder, disappearance, detention, or injury.
As a reminder, Ukraine's Ambassador to Israel Yevhen Korniichuk said that 18 Ukrainian citizens were killed in the country as a result of attacks by the Hamas terrorist organization. As of October 19, the data on 23 Ukrainian victims have not been confirmed.
