"According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, or CPJ, the war is the deadliest conflict for journalists since the group began keeping records. At least 165 Palestinian journalists have been killed — more than the number of journalists killed during six years of World War II.

As the toll on journalists grew, drone journalists suffered a proportionately huge loss. According to al-Tabatiby, around 10 drone journalists were working in Gaza at the outset of the war. Five have been killed, and one was severely injured."
