The committee recorded the deaths of about 706 relatives of journalists in the Gaza Strip during that period, stressing that the scale and consistency of the attacks indicate they are not the result of random wartime conditions.</p> <p data-end="1344" data-start="1099">According to the committee, Israeli attacks killed about 436 relatives of journalists in 2023, followed by roughly 203 in 2024 and at least 67 more in 2025, even as many families were forcibly displaced and living in tents or makeshift shelters.</p> <p data-end="1611" data-start="1346">The report said the most recent case came just days ago, when recovery teams found the bodies of journalist Hiba Al-Abadla, her mother and around 15 members of the Al-Astal family. Israeli aircraft had bombed their home west of Khan Younis nearly two years earlier.</p> <p data-end="1848" data-is-last-node data-is-only-node data-start="1613">The syndicate said the figures show that hundreds of children, women and elderly people were killed solely because of a family member’s work in journalism, calling it a grave violation of international humanitarian and legal standards.</p> </div> </div> </article>
