The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) says that more than 200 journalists have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the conflict more than two years ago.
A ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant organization Hamas has been in place since October 10, but fatal incidents continue to occur.
Israel has repeatedly accused journalists in the Gaza Strip of working for the Hamas.
