Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), says the Israeli drone attack that killed Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Wishah today “suggests, unfortunately, another targeted killing by a journalist by Israel”.
“That’s a pattern that we have seen consistently since October the 7th,” said Ginsberg, noting that more than 260 journalist and media workers have been killed in Gaza since the war began.
“That makes Israel the biggest killer of journalists since CPJ started documenting those deaths in 1992. It has killed more journalists than any other government, any other military force, in the world,” she added.

Analysis Summary
This is verified — Mohammed Wishah was killed in an Israeli drone strike on April 8, 2026, and CPJ's Jodie Ginsberg did make these statements about it representing a pattern of targeted killings. The death toll figure (260+) and CPJ's conclusion that Israel has killed more journalists than any other government since 1992 are both well-documented. The framing characterizes the killings as systematic targeting of journalists, which CPJ and media organizations support, though Israel contests the characterization of some killings as targeted versus collateral damage.
