In the most recent incident on November 21, a Lebanese reporter for the Al-Mayadeen television channel and his cameraman were killed in southern Lebanon near the border with Israel shortly after the end of a live broadcast.

Five weeks earlier, a Lebanese Reuters journalist, Issam Abdallah, was also killed while reporting in Lebanon, and several other journalists at the location were seriously injured.
Israel later told Reuters and AFP, where journalists were injured in a similar attack, that it could not guarantee the safety of its journalists in Gaza.
The Israeli military said in a letter that it was targeting Hamas, which had deliberately moved its operations “close to the neighborhoods of journalists and civilians.”
Many Palestinian journalists were killed in the airstrikes, along with many members of their families. Besides the journalists killed, many others continue to work despite the impact of the conflict on their families.
The wife and children of Wael Dahdouh, the director of Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on October 25, after they fled from northern Gaza south following Israeli recommendations.
What's even more remarkable is that this journalist continued his reporting work despite the significant risk to his life. An Al Jazeera presenter nearly broke down in tears while reporting on the incident.
The Al Jazeera news network stated that it is “deeply concerned about the safety and well-being of our colleagues in Gaza and demands that the Israeli authorities be held accountable for their security.”
