Good morning.

An Israeli tank that killed a Reuters journalist and wounded six others in Lebanon last year fired two 120mm rounds at a group of “clearly identifiable journalists” in violation of international law, a UN investigation has found.

How many people documenting the conflict have been killed since 7 October? At least 95 journalists and media workers have been killed, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, which called the deaths a “severe toll” and urged that journalists “must not be targeted by warring parties”.

What is the humanitarian toll of the conflict so far? After the Hamas attack on Israel in which about 1,200 people were killed and 200 taken hostage, the Israeli assault on Gaza has killed 31,341 people and wounded 73,134, Gaza health officials say.
