{Israel kills over 700 relatives of Palestinian journalists in Gaza: Report
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate says Israel is using collective punishment to crush reporting of its genocidal war in Gaza.
Israel has killed at least 706 family members of Palestinian journalists since the start of its genocidal war in Gaza in October 2023, according to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate. The syndicate’s Freedoms Committee said in a report released late on Saturday that Israeli forces are systematically targeting the families of journalists as part of what it called a war aimed at silencing Palestinian reporting. The report said the attacks represent a deliberate strategy rather than deaths as a result of war. Israeli violence against journalists has “evolved to take on a more dangerous and brutal dimension, represented by targeting the families and relatives of journalists, in a clear attempt to turn journalistic work into an existential burden for which sons, wives, fathers, and mothers pay the price”, the union said. Muhammad al-Lahham, head of the Freedoms Committee, said the pattern of attacks from 2023 to 2025 exposes Israel’s intent to crush independent reporting in Gaza. Targeting journalists’ families, he said, “reveals that the Israeli occupation is waging a comprehensive war on the truth, making no distinction between the camera and the child, nor between the pen and the home”.
“The blood of the journalists’ families will remain a living witness to the crime of trying to silence the Palestinian voice,” al-Lahham added.
Witnesses to family killings
The committee said Israeli forces killed 436 relatives of journalists in 2023, 203 in 2024 and at least 67 this year. The deaths continued even after many families were forcibly displaced and sought shelter in tents and makeshift camps, it said.
The syndicate cited a recent case near Khan Younis, where the bodies of journalist Hiba al-Abadla, her mother and about 15 members of the al-Astal family were recovered nearly two years after Israeli aircraft bombed their home west of the city. “Hundreds of children, women and the elderly were killed because of a family member’s professional connection to journalism, in flagrant violation of all humanitarian and legal norms,” the committee said. According to the findings, Israeli attacks have repeatedly struck journalists’ homes, places of displacement and areas known to house media workers and their relatives. In some cases, entire families have been wiped out, leaving journalists alive to bear witness to their annihilation. The committee described this as a “qualitative shift” in Israel’s behaviour, moving from individual targeting to collective punishment. By turning families into targets, it said, Israel aims to intimidate society itself and “dry up the environment that nurtures the media”.
Almost 300 journalists killed
Beyond the death toll, the syndicate warned of severe psychological harm. Journalists who survived after losing children, partners or parents now face trauma, family breakdowns and crushing guilt, and many have been forced to flee or suspend their work under the weight of Israel’s continuing violence. Over the past year, Israel killed several journalists in Gaza in targeted assassinations – most notably Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif – falsely claiming that they are members of Hamas. They are among nearly 300 journalists and media workers killed in Gaza during the war over 26 months – an average of about 12 journalists a month – according to Shireen.ps, a monitoring website named after Al Jazeera’s veteran correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh. who was killed in the occupied West Bank in 2022. Media freedom groups have condemned the Israeli attacks on journalists, but the killings have proceeded with impunity. Israel has never arrested or charged any of its soldiers for killing journalists. While the targeting of the news media has intensified during the war in Gaza, Israel has killed dozens of Arab journalists over the past two decades. In December, a report by Reporters Without Borders found that Israel killed more journalists in 2025 than any other country.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/28/israel-kills-over-700-relatives-of-palestinian-journalists-in-gaza-report

{Israel attacks press as ‘silencing’ policy: Palestinian journalists union
Syndicate report says Israeli forces have systematically targeted journalists to undermine Palestinian narrative. Israel’s systematic campaign of violence against Palestinian journalists since October 2023 has peaked in 2025 with the targeting of dozens of members of the press, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate says.
In a statement released on Friday, the Freedoms Committee of the syndicate said Israel is implementing a policy of “silencing the press through killing, injury and permanent disability”. “The Israeli occupation shifted from a policy of restricting journalistic work to a policy of neutralising the press through deadly force, with the aim of silencing witnesses, preventing the documentation of crimes, and undermining the Palestinian narrative on the ground,” the statement said.
By the end of November 2025, at least 76 Palestinian journalists had been killed and wounded by Israel, a figure the committee described as a “dangerous indicator of the escalating targeting policy” pursued by Israeli authorities. “Journalists are no longer merely ‘potential targets’, but rather confirmed and frequent targets,” the committee said. Over the past year, Israel killed several journalists in Gaza in targeted assassinations – most notably Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif – falsely claiming that they are members of Hamas. Press freedom groups have been condemning the Israeli attacks on journalists, but the killings have proceeded with impunity. Israel has never arrested or charged any of its troops for killing journalists. While the targeting of the press intensified during the genocidal war in Gaza, Israel has killed dozens of Arab journalists over the past two decades, including Al Jazeera’s veteran correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh in the occupied West Bank in 2022. Muhammad al-Lahham, head of the Committee for Freedoms at the syndicate, said the scale and consistency of the attacks amount to international crimes. The events of the past year, he said, “constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, and represent a systematic targeting of a protected group, journalists, within the framework of an official policy to silence the media by force”. Al-Lahham rejected claims that journalists had been caught accidentally in hostilities, describing instead a deliberate operational logic. What Israel was enforcing, he said, was a “field doctrine based on the principle of ‘no witnesses, no narrative, no image'”. In December, a report by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) found that Israel killed more journalists in 2025 than any other country.
Silencing witnesses
The report described 2025 as “a year of repeated mass targeting, particularly in tents, hospitals, and press gatherings”, warning that Palestine had become one of the most dangerous places in the world to practise journalism. Several Al Jazeera journalists have been among those killed, in some cases alongside members of their families. In August, Israeli attacks killed al-Sharif and three other Al Jazeera journalists. They are among nearly 300 journalists and media workers killed in Gaza during the war over 26 months – an average of about 12 journalists a month – according to Shireen.ps, a monitoring website named after Abu Akleh. Beyond fatalities, the committee documented a sharp rise in life-altering injuries. Many journalists suffered amputations, paralysis or blindness after strikes to the head, neck, chest and abdomen. The dangers did not come solely from the Israeli army, the report said, but also from settlers.

April and May marked what the committee called a phase of deliberate media massacres. On April 7 and 8, Israeli strikes hit a journalists’ tent at Nasser Hospital, wounding nine reporters and destroying equipment. Several died of their injuries later. This documented and recurring incident occurred and involved the use of heavy weaponry, “amounting to a complex war crime and a collective targeting of the press”, the committee said. By mid-2025, patterns of permanent disability had emerged. Journalist Akram Dalloul lost his sight, Jamal Badah had his leg amputated, and Muhammad Fayeq was left paralysed. The committee stressed that most attacks occurred while journalists were clearly identifiable, wearing protective gear and press badges, and working in locations long recognised as media gathering points. Many were targeted repeatedly, it added, underscoring what it described as Israel’s sustained assault on the Palestinian press.} Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/26/israel-attacks-press-as-silencing-policy-palestinian-journalists-union

IFJ - Dec 24, 2025
{Israel: Government seeks to ban foreign media outlets permanently if deemed “a security threat”
Members of the Israeli parliament voted on 10 November in favour of passing a bill that would allow the government to permanently shut down foreign media outlets alleged to “undermine national security”, without judicial oversight and regardless of the security situation. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) is extremely concerned about this bill which, if approved, would represent the government’s latest attempt to curtail free speech and media freedom. It also urges the Israeli authorities to stop using security concerns as an excuse to suppress media that are critical of the government. On 10 November, the bill passed its first reading in the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, with 50 members voting in favour and 14 against. If approved, it would turn the temporary law – which grants the government the power to temporarily close foreign media outlets alleged to “undermine national security” – into permanent legislation. This temporary law, approved in April 2024, is known as the ‘Al Jazeera Law’ because it enabled the government to shut down Al Jazeera’s broadcasting in Israel and raid its offices during a state of national emergency. This measure, which has been repeatedly extended since its approval, has been widely criticised by the IFJ and other media freedom organisations, since it has been used to silence critical media on the grounds of “encouraging terrorism” and restrict press freedom.
Controversial new bill
“Today it’s Al-Jazeera, tomorrow the BBC and the day after tomorrow Haaretz,” reads an editorial by progressive Israeli newspaper Haaretz published on 12 November. The proposal currently being discussed in the Israeli parliament differs from the existing temporary law in that the government would no longer require judicial oversight to ban foreign media and would have the authority to do so regardless of the security situation. According to the Times of Israel, the bill will now return to the country’s national security committee, where it will be prepared for a second and third reading in parliament. However, this controversial bill is not the only action that the Israeli government is pursuing to tighten its control over the media. In the national context, the government is seeking to privatise the Israeli Public Broadcaster Corporation, known as KAN, as part of a broader media reform promoted by Israel’s Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi. In November 2024, it sanctioned the progressive newspaper Haaretz for its coverage of the war in Gaza by ending government advertising in the newspaper, and cancelling all subscriptions of both state employees and employees of state-owned companies. The IFJ, which condemned sanctions against Haaretz, continues to closely monitor the state of media freedom in Israel, which is rapidly deteriorating. IFJ General Secretary Anthony Bellanger said: “Israel is openly waging a battle against media outlets, both local and foreign, that criticise the government's narrative: that is typical behavior of authoritarian regimes. We are deeply concerned about the Israeli parliament passing this controversial bill, as it would be a serious blow to free speech and media freedom, and a direct attack on the public’s right to know.”
UPDATE 24.12.2025 The Israeli parliament announced on 23 Decemeber the extension of a law allowing authorities to ban any foreign media deemed harmful to state security from broadcasting in the country. According to a statement published on the Knesset's X account, the amendment "allows, under a temporary provision valid until December 31, 2027, the restriction of broadcasts by foreign media that harm state security."} Source: https://www.ifj.org/media-centre/news/detail/category/press-releases/article/israel-government-seeks-to-ban-foreign-media-outlets-permanently-if-deemed-a-security-threat

Al Jazeera - Dec 23, 2025 By Simon Speakman Cordall
{Is Israel’s government waging war on Al Jazeera and the media?
Critics say Israel’s media laws, including a ban on Al Jazeera, aim to silence dissenting voices, undermining democracy and free speech. The Israeli government is cracking down on critical media outlets, giving it unprecedented control over how its actions are presented to its citizens. Among the moves is the so-called Al Jazeera Law, which allows the government to shut down foreign media outlets on national security grounds. On Tuesday, the Israeli parliament approved the extension of the law for two years after it was introduced during Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza to essentially stop Al Jazeera’s operations in Israel. Separately, the government is also moving to shut down the popular Army Radio network, one of two publicly funded Israeli news outlets. The radio station is often criticised by the Israeli right wing, which views Army Radio as being biased against it. Israelis are still reliant on receiving their news from traditional outlets with about half relying on broadcast news for information on current affairs and about a third similarly relying upon radio stations. The tone of the media that is allowed to publish and broadcast is important. According to analysts inside Israel, the selective broadcasting of Palestinian suffering during Israel’s war on Gaza has helped sustain the carnage and reinforced a sense of grievance that allows for Israel’s continued assaults on Gaza as well as regional countries, such as Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. Despite what observers characterise as a media environment firmly rigged in its favour, the far-right government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which contains ministers convicted of “terrorism” offences and others who have repeatedly called for the illegal annexation of the occupied West Bank, is looking nevertheless to bypass legal checks on its control of the media and bring more of Israel’s information feed under its control.
Let’s take a closer look.
Why is the Israeli government clamping down on the media?
Because the government believes it is too critical.
Israeli politicians have long complained about how the war in Gaza has been covered in both the international and domestic media. But the government added a new accusation in November, partly blaming the media for the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 2023. “If there hadn’t been a media entirely mobilised to encourage refusal [to volunteer to reserve duty] and reckless opposition to the judicial reform, there wouldn’t have been such a rift in the nation that led the enemy to seize the opportunity,” Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi said as he introduced a bill to increase government control of the news environment, referring to attempts by the Israeli government to reduce the independence of the judiciary.
How exactly is the government cracking down on the media?
In addition to the ‘Al Jazeera Law’, there are three items of legislation under way: a plan to privatise Israel’s public broadcaster, Kan, the move to abolish Army Radio, and an initiative to bring the media regulator under government control. Both Army Radio and Kan, the other state-funded outlet with editorial independence, have carried numerous reports critical of the government. This week, Kan aired an interview with Netanyahu’s former spokesperson Eli Feldstein, who told the broadcaster that the prime minister had instructed him to develop a strategy to help evade responsibility for the October 7 attacks. Meanwhile, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, justifying the move to shut down Army Radio, said on Monday that the outlet had become a platform to attack the Israeli military and its soldiers. Israel is also potentially changing the way it regulates its media. In November, the Israeli parliament pressed ahead with a bill that would abolish existing media regulators and replace them with a new authority appointed by the government, potentially allowing for even greater state interference. Lastly, Israel has also codified into law the emergency legislation banning foreign media outlets whose output it disagrees with. It was first enacted as emergency legislation in May 2024 when Israel used it to ban Al Jazeera from its territory, and it was then used in the same month to halt the activity of The Associated Press after the government accused the United States-based news agency of sharing footage with Al Jazeera. Under the new law, the communications minister – with the prime minister’s sign-off and the backing of a ministerial committee – may halt a foreign broadcaster’s transmissions if the prime minister accepts a professional assessment that the outlet poses a security threat. The minister can also shut the broadcaster’s offices, confiscate equipment used to produce its content and block access to its website.
Have the moves been criticised?
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the United Kingdom’s National Union of Journalists have criticised Israel’s decision to legislate against foreign media platforms it deems a security threat. In a statement, IFJ General Secretary Anthony Bellanger said: “Israel is openly waging a battle against media outlets, both local and foreign, that criticise the government’s narrative: that is typical behavior of authoritarian regimes. We are deeply concerned about the Israeli parliament passing this controversial bill, as it would be a serious blow to free speech and media freedom, and a direct attack on the public’s right to know.” The attempt to shutter Army Radio has also been heavily criticised with Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara declaring the move unlawful and accusing Netanyahu’s coalition of making public broadcasting “weakened, threatened and institutionally silenced and its future shrouded in mist”. Baharav-Miara has also criticised the move to place media regulation under government control, saying the bill “endangers the very principle of press freedom”.
How balanced is the Israeli media?
Not very.
The Israeli media have overwhelmingly been a consistent cheerleader of the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza, where more than 70,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel, and in the occupied West Bank. The suffering of Palestinians is rarely shown, and when it is, it is often justified. Even as Israel has killed more than 270 journalists and media workers in Gaza, the Israeli media have provided cover for the actions of its government and military. That means Israelis often don’t recogise the hypocrisy of their government’s statements. An example came in June after Iran struck an evacuated hospital during the 12-day war between Israel and Iran. The Israeli government called the incident a war crime, and the Israeli media reflected that outrage. But the attack came after Israel had been accused by a variety of organisations, including the United Nations, of systematically destroying Gaza’s healthcare system with medical workers targeted for arrest and frequently tortured despite their protection under international law. “The Israeli media … sees its job as not to educate – it’s to shape and mould a public that is ready to support war and aggression,” journalist Orly Noy told Al Jazeera from West Jerusalem in the wake of the strike on the Israeli medical centre. “It genuinely sees itself as having a special role in this.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/23/is-israels-government-waging-war-on-al-jazeera-and-the-media

Quds news - Dec 23, 2025
{Israeli Knesset Approves Extension of Law Allowing Closure of Foreign Media
“Today it’s Al-Jazeera, tomorrow the BBC and the day after tomorrow Haaretz.”
Israeli Knesset Approves Extension of Law Allowing Closure of Foreign Media
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- The Israeli Knesset on Tuesday approved in its second and third readings the extension of a law that allows the Communications Minister to decide to close foreign channels and confiscate their equipment at any time in Israel, without a court order, regardless of being in a state of emergency. The law is known as the Al Jazeera Law for two years, under which the Al Jazeera network’s office was closed and its work in Jerusalem and Israel onn May 5, 2024 over its Gaza genocide covergae. The bill replaces temporary emergency legislation that was in effect during the recent Israeli genocide in Gaza, dubbed the Al Jazeera Law because it was passed primarily to authorize the shutdown of the Qatar-based network in Israel and Jerusalem and Israel on May 5, 2024. Now, with the fragile ceasefire that took effect on aocotber 10, the temporary legislation has expired, necessitating a permanent law to replace it. Unlike the temporary measure, the new law does not require court approval to shut down a media outlet. Accoring to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the bill cleared a committee vote in a softened version. The legislation was approved in the Knesset by a majority of 22 to 10. Under the law, if the prime minister is convinced, based on a professional opinion, that a foreign broadcaster threatens state security, the communications minister may – with the prime minister's consent and approval from a ministerial committee or the government – order the suspension of the outlet's broadcasts, the closure of its offices, the seizure of equipment used to provide its content, and the blocking of its website. In addition, the defense minister may be instructed to take technological measures to prevent reception of the broadcasts via satellite, including in the occupied West Bank, provided this does not block other channels. Under the law, the police will be added to the security bodies asked to provide opinions on shuttering broadcasts that had previously been regulated under the expired temporary order. During hearings last week in the National Security Committee ahead of the plenum vote, Deputy Attorney General Avital Sompolinsky said the Justice Ministry had received a request from the communications minister to consider transitioning from emergency to permanent legislation. Accoring to Asef Hamidi, the director of news at Al Jazeera Channel, the Israeli occupation authorities have relentlessly targeted Al Jazeera and its journalists, because “we remain the only international media network reporting from Gaza and the occupied territories.” “The network’s crime seems to have been shining a light on the devastating impact of Israel’s war on Gaza, and the continuous raids and incursions in the occupied West Bank.” This law has been widely criticized by media freedom organisations. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) called the decsions “Israel’s latest attempt to curtail free speech and media freedom.” IFJ General Secretary Anthony Bellanger said: “Israel is openly waging a battle against media outlets, both local and foreign, that criticize the government's narrative: that is typical behavior of authoritarian regimes. We are deeply concerned about the Israeli parliament passing this controversial bill, as it would be a serious blow to free speech and media freedom, and a direct attack on the public’s right to know.” “Today it’s Al-Jazeera, tomorrow the BBC and the day after tomorrow Haaretz,” reads an editorial by Haaretz published on 12 November.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66932&slug=israeli-knesset-approves-extension-of-law-allowing-closure-of-foreign-media


Ya’akub Vijandre
Quds News - Dec 16, 2025
{Muslim Photojournalist Detained by ICE Says He Was Targeted for Pro-Palestinian Stance and Religion
He was arrested over social media posts the federal government claimed as “glorifying terrorism”. Vijandre and his legal defense team assert his posts were constitutionally protected speech that is being targeted due to Vijandre’s Muslim faith.
Muslim Photojournalist Detained by ICE Says He Was Targeted for Pro-Palestinian Stance and Religion
Washington (QNN)- A Muslim photojournalist who ICE detained in October for social media posts about Palestine and Islam, said that the Trump government is “attacking my faith” and guards treat detainees “like animals”. Ya’akub Vijandre was detained by ICE at gunpoint in Arlington, Texas on 7 October when 10 cars pulled up outside his home, applied for asylum on 19 November and had his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca) status revoked on 2 December. He was arrested over social media posts the federal government claimed as “glorifying terrorism”. Vijandre and his legal defense team assert his posts were constitutionally protected speech that is being targeted due to Vijandre’s Muslim faith. According to the Guardian, the posts referred to several “political prisoners”, as well as Islam. Samantha Hamilton, staff attorney with Asian Americans Advancing Justice and member of his legal team, said Vijandre’s detention is “a pure speech case … [that] cannot be divorced from Islam, with the government characterizing Ya’akub’s nonviolent speech as terrorism”. Vijandre has been reporting on pro-Palestine and anti-genocide rallies and community events and related issues for several decades, often posting on Instagram, where he has nearly 9,000 followers. Speaking in his first interview from Georgia’s Folkston detention center, Vijandre, who is also a martial arts teacher and first responder, told the Guardian that guards treat detainees “like animals”, yelling at them when they don’t understand English. One guard responded to his request to use the bathroom during a visit to the detention center’s library by telling him, “just piss on yourself”. Vijandre’s legal team is also trying to get him released from detention while his immigration case is resolved, filing its latest motion in a habeas corpus case late Monday. Habeas corpus is a legal tool that gives a detained person the right to seek a judge’s ruling on whether their detention is unlawful. Vijandre was born in the Philippines and has lived in the US for 24 years, holding Daca status half that time, the Obama-era programdesigned to protect immigrants from deportation who were brought to the US as children. His legal team is now in its second month of a constitutional challenge to his detention, after an immigration judge ruled on 3 November that she could not release him on bond. In a 10 November amended habeas corpus petition, Vijandre’s legal team revealed details about that immigration court proceeding, including which social media posts the federal government had singled out and why. During the hearing, the immigration judge asks Vijandre about a post on the Holy Land Foundation, which she claims was “convicted of providing material aid and support to a designated terrorist organization called Hamas”. Vijandre told the judge: “I have said that they have been wrongfully imprisoned, and that’s all I can recall right now, ma’am.” The judge asks: “[A]re you saying they were wrongfully imprisoned for supporting Hamas?” Vijandre responds that his post was drawing attention to “perceived due-process violations in their prosecution”. The judge also refers to two posts on Islam, including one where Vijandre “liked” a post containing a quote in English and the Shahada in Arabic – a basic pillar of the Muslim faith. The quote: “Islam today is in dire need of truthful, patient men who are inclined to work hard, who find pleasure in toil and find comfort in pain, quietly translating the needs of this stage into action … ”  The government claims that the quote appeared in a magazine linked to Islamic State. Another religious post reads: “A Warrior of Islam can never be assassinated for DEATH IS OUR VICTORY!! It is the inescapable process for us to meet Allah; what is more victorious than that!!” The judge questioned Vijandre about the meaning of the phrase “death is our victory”. He explains that the Qur’an “mentions that every soul will taste death, and that God has burdened us with prosperity and adversity, and that it is a test for us, and that this test is to test our gratitude and our patience”. The judge concluded that she could not make a decision on bond because Vijandre’s posts appeared to run afoul of federal immigration law against “endorsing or espousing terroristic activity or persuad[ing] others to endorse or espouse terroristic activity or support a terrorist organization”. Speaking from Folkston detention center, Vijandre said the hearing left him stunned. “I never expected anything like that … being accused of ‘glorifying terrorism’; they attacked my religion, my faith. They boxed me in, cornered me. I’ve seen this in movies … [but] was not expecting my faith to be attacked.” “This is a rehearsed tactic of Islamophobia,” he added. The team’s 8 December motion asserts that “Mr Vijandre’s freedom is critical, but far more is at stake here than one man’s liberty. If Mr Vijandre’s social media posts or photojournalism make him a terrorist, the executive branch’s power to detain individuals within the United States based on speech will know no limits.” Meanwhile, Vijandre, speaking from Folkston, said he is “concerned about [his family’s] safety … them being accused of what I’m being accused of. With the rise of Islamophobia, ignorant people could use violence against my family.”} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66894&slug=muslim-photojournalist-detained-by-ice-says-he-was-targeted-for-pro-palestinian-stance-and-religion
