Israeli military accused of lack of accountability in journalist deaths.

A report by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has accused the Israeli military of failing to properly investigate the deaths of at least 20 journalists since 2001, constituting a "grave threat to press freedom". The vast majority of the journalists killed were Palestinian, and no-one has ever been charged or held accountable for their deaths. The report details a pattern of inadequate responses and evading accountability by the Israeli military, including routine obfuscation and failure to properly investigate. Israel maintains it has robust processes for investigating the actions of its forces, but the CPJ report says no case involving the death of a journalist has reached criminal proceedings and no soldier has been held accountable.
