Dhaka, April 7 -- Israel has been deliberately targeting journalists in Gaza since the war escalated on 7 October 2023, according to journalist and author Antony Lowenstein, who points to a growing body of evidence documenting attacks on media workers in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Lowenstein referenced recent findings from Brown University's Cost of War project, which suggest that more journalists have been killed in Gaza in the past six months than in all global conflicts combined over the last 100 years.

"The number of journalists killed in Gaza is greater than that of all conflicts in the last 100 years combined," he said, describing the figures as indicative of a "deliberate targeting of journalists"...
