Al Jazeera: 173 journalists have been killed so far by Israel in Gaza.
Committee to Protect Journalists says 128 killings of journalists have been confirmed; "Journalists in Gaza face particularly high risks as they try to cover the conflict, including devastating Israeli airstrikes, famine, the displacement of 90% of Gaza’s population, and the destruction of 80% of its buildings. CPJ is investigating more than 130 additional cases of potential killings, arrests and injuries, but many are difficult to document amid these harsh conditions."
Meanwhile in Lebanon "what we can see is very similar to what we saw in Gaza during October and November. More and more hospitals are being put out of service by being targeted by the Israelis. The Lebanese health system has lost eight hospitals so far and the wounded are similar to those we saw in Gaza. People who are crushed underneath the rubble, people who are injured in their homes. Around a third of the wounded are children. Blast injuries, crush injuries, shrapnel wounds."
