CPJ urges Israeli accountability for killing journalists.
TL;DR
The Israeli military has taken no accountability for killing at least 20 journalists, 18 of whom were Palestinian, over the past 20 years, severely undermining press freedom, according to a report by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). Palestinians make up 80% of journalists and media workers killed by the Israeli military. The report also highlights that Israeli officials discount evidence and witness claims, often appearing to clear soldiers for the killings while inquiries are still in progress.
