CPJ removes 20 Gaza journalists from war casualty list after combat roles found

The Committee to Protect Journalists removed 20 names from its Gaza war casualties list after evidence indicated they had combat roles with militant groups. CPJ maintains that militant affiliation alone does not disqualify a journalist if they were working as civilians and not directly participating in hostilities. This development affects the credibility of casualty reporting in the Gaza conflict and may influence public perception and policy debates.
