Since October 7, 2023, at least 178 journalists have been killed in Gaza. That's more journalists than in both World Wars combined. While the world remains silent, we must raise our voices against injustice. In this poignant new documentary, Robert Greenwald will expose Israel’s crimes against journalism and humanity through the lives and deaths of Palestinian journalists Belal Jadallah, Heba Al-Abadla, and Ismail al-Ghoul.

Bilal Jadallah was a prominent Palestinian journalist and media figure, tragically killed in an Israeli airstrike during the ongoing war in Gaza. As director of the Press House-Palestine, an independent media organization based in Gaza City, Jadallah was deeply committed to defending freedom of the press and supporting local journalists under increasingly dire conditions. He was known for fostering independent journalism, mentoring young reporters, and amplifying voices often silenced amid conflict. On November 19, 2023, Jadallah was reportedly killed while attempting to leave Gaza City after being denied safe passage through an Israeli military checkpoint. He was the 49th journalist killed.

Heba Al-Abadla was a dedicated Palestinian journalist and media advocate who worked as a host for Al-Azhar radio, a station affiliated with Al-Azhar University in Gaza. A passionate voice for her community, she co-founded the Social Media Club-Palestine and was widely recognized for her efforts to empower women and youth through media, civic engagement, and political participation. Al-Abadla’s work bridged journalism and activism, reflecting her belief in the power of storytelling to drive change. On December 5, 2023, she was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Khan Yunis, alongside her young daughter Judy, her mother, and several other family members. She was the 84th journalist killed in the war.

Ismail al-Ghoul was a 27-year-old Palestinian journalist known for his fearless field reporting with Al Jazeera. Based in Gaza, he often covered some of the most dangerous and emotionally harrowing events in the region, driven by a commitment to bearing witness. On July 31, 2024, al-Ghoul and his cameraman, Rami al-Refee, were killed in an Israeli airstrike that struck their vehicle in the Shati refugee camp, near the home of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who had been assassinated earlier that day in Tehran. Al-Ghoul was a husband and the father of a toddler daughter. He was the 126th journalist killed.

Sabrine Al-Abadla is a Palestinian woman from Rafah, Gaza—a wife, mother of two, and the sister of slain journalist Heba Al-Abadla. In December 2023, Sabrine lost 57 members of her extended family in a single Israeli airstrike on her uncle’s home, where they had taken shelter after being besieged and cut off from the outside world. Her mother, sister, nieces, nephews, and many others were among those killed—most never recovered from the rubble. Since then, Sabrine has made it her mission to speak publicly about what happened, even as she continues to live under siege herself. With little access to electricity or internet, and at great personal risk, she has refused to be silenced. Even in the shadow of unimaginable loss, she continues to share her family’s story with the world and fight for a future where her children can grow up in a free and peaceful Palestine.
