[Yousef Masoud/The New York Times]As part of the International Criminal Court’s investigation into allegations of crimes in the Gaza Strip, its chief prosecutor will review attacks that killed journalists in the Israel-Hamas war, his office said in a statement Wednesday. The media watchdog group Reporters Without Borders has filed two complaints with the court over the past 10 weeks, calling on the court to investigate and prosecute cases of journalists who were killed in the war. In the group’s first complaint, filed in October, it said that eight Palestinian journalists had been killed by attacks that had caused “disproportionate harm” to civilians. The Israeli military has also said that it has never targeted journalists and that operating in war zones carries risks.
