CPJ on Wednesday said it was investigating all reports of journalists killed, injured, detained or missing in the war, including those hurt as hostilities spread to neighbouring Lebanon.

“As of October 17, at least 17 journalists were among the more than 4,000 dead on both sides since the war began on October 7. “Journalists in Gaza face particularly high risks as they try to cover the conflict in the face of a ground assault by Israeli troops, devastating Israeli airstrikes, disrupted communications and extensive power outages.”

As of October 17, 17 journalists were confirmed dead: 13 Palestinian, three Israeli and one Lebanese, reads the statement.

Meanwhile, eight journalists were reported injured and three were reported missing or detained, according to the organization. CPJ said it was also investigating unconfirmed reports of other journalists being killed, missing, detained, hurt or threatened, and of damage to media offices and journalists’ homes.
