At least 208 Palestinian journalists have been killed since Israel's assault on Gaza began, according to media officials, as reporters face systematic attacks aimed at suppressing documentation of the ongoing devastation. Two more journalists were killed this week in targeted strikes - one bombed in his car in northern Gaza, the other in his home in the south.  

"Every journalist murdered is another attempt to blind the world to Israel's crimes," said a Gaza media official. "We are witnesses to genocide, and that's why we're being eliminated." The latest victims were veteran reporters who had been documenting civilian casualties and destruction across the besieged territory.  

Despite international laws protecting journalists in conflict zones, the killings continue with impunity. Media watchdogs accuse Israel of deliberately silencing Palestinian voices to control the narrative. "When you kill the storytellers, you think you can kill the story," said one Gaza reporter still working amid the bombardment. "But the truth survives - it just becomes harder to tell."  

With over 50,000 Palestinians dead and most infrastructure destroyed, surviving journalists risk their lives daily to document what many call a campaign of erasure. "They want Gaza's story to end with us," said a photographer who lost three colleagues. "But cameras are still rolling, even as the world looks away."
