Group Behind Gaza Press Death Toll Quietly Removes Hamas and Islamic Jihad Fighters From Its List

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has initiated a comprehensive review of its database concerning journalist casualties in Gaza. This review has led to the quiet removal of Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters from the casualty list, which previously included these individuals alongside civilian casualties.

The action comes amid scrutiny regarding the accuracy and representation of the death toll among journalists in conflict areas. The CPJ aims to clarify the criteria for inclusion in its database amidst ongoing discussions on the nature of reporting and the risks faced by media personnel in Gaza.
