Summary

Press freedom group The Committee to Protect Journalists is reviewing how it identifies and records journalists killed in war zones. The move follows the CPJ wrongly naming combatants as slain reporters in its database for the Israel – Gaza war after the militant groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad published obituaries unmasking as fighters individuals previously listed as journalists. Members of the media , and especially war correspondents, are protected in war zones by international law if they do not actively engage in hostilities.
