I put this in another thread, but it bears repeating:
https://cpj.org/2023/12/journalist-casualties-in-the-israel-gaza-conflict/
"As of December 17:
64 journalists and media workers were confirmed dead: 57 Palestinian, 4 Israeli, and 3 Lebanese.
13 journalists were reported injured.
3 journalists were reported missing.
19 journalists were reported arrested.
Multiple assaults, threats, cyberattacks, censorship, and killings of family members."

Interesting point. Several Palestinian reporters were killed when "Israeli warplanes struck an area housing several media outlets in Gaza City’s Rimal district".
It's also notable that the Israeli reporters were not killed as a result of covering the war. 2 were covering the music festival and 2 were just at home and work when they got killed. They were not killed because they were reporters, rather they were civilian casualties of the October 7th attack who happened to be reporters.
