The IDF said it could not guarantee
Agence France-Presse and Reuters have asked for assurances that their journalists will not be targeted in Israeli attacks. But the Israel Security Forces (IDF) said they could not guarantee the safety of journalists during their operations in the Gaza Strip.
“The IDF is attacking Hamas military activities throughout Gaza. Hamas is deliberately conducting its military operations in areas where journalists and civilians are present. We cannot guarantee the safety of your employees and request you to take the necessary measures for their safety,” the IDF said.
CPJ said it was investigating numerous unconfirmed reports of other journalists being killed, disappeared, arrested, injured or threatened, and of damage to media offices and journalists’ homes.
