Palestinian Journalists Syndicate: “Israel” killed 706 family members of journalists in Gaza

GAZA, Dec. 28 (YPA) – The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate revealed today that the targeting of Palestinian journalists by the Israeli occupation has gone far beyond direct killings, injuries, detentions, or restrictions on reporting, with at least 706 members of journalists’ families killed during the genocide.

In a report released on Saturday, it said the Israeli occupation’s attacks on journalists have escalated to a more dangerous and brutal level, targeting journalists’ families and relatives in an apparent attempt to turn journalism into an existential burden, paid for by children, spouses, and parents.

According to monitoring and documentation by the Syndicate’s Freedoms Committee, the systematic targeting of journalists’ families by Israeli forces was extensively documented in 2023, 2024, and 2025, claiming the lives of approximately 706 family members in Gaza. All indicators suggest that these attacks are not accidental consequences of war conditions.
