Pakistan, Dec. 9 -- Reporters Without Borders (RSF) stated on Tuesday that Israel was responsible for nearly half of all journalists killed worldwide in 2025. The group reported that 29 Palestinian journalists were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza during the year. RSF's annual report recorded 67 journalist deaths globally, a slight rise from 66 in 2024.

According to the Paris-based media watchdog, Israeli forces accounted for 43 per cent of all deaths, making them "the worst enemy of journalists" in its assessment. The organisation documented killings over a 12-month period starting December 2024. It highlighted that nearly 220 journalists have been killed since Israel's Gaza campaign began in October 2023.
