Journalists' Committee Revises Gaza Death Toll After Links to Militants Found
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has removed 22 names from its official list of media workers killed in the Gaza war following a review that uncovered links between these individuals and militant groups. The decision came after Hamas and Islamic Jihad published obituaries that identified some of the listed individuals as combatants.
One of the individuals removed was Abdallah Iyad Breis, chief cameraman for Hamas's Ministry of Education television channel. Breis was killed in an Israeli Air Force strike on his family's home in the Khan Younis refugee camp in January 2024.
The CPJ's investigation was prompted by the initial inclusion of these individuals and the subsequent revelations about their alleged affiliations.
