The link listing journalists killed by Israel is crazy. Some recent examples:

> Killed when Israeli forces struck a tent sheltering Palestinians.

> Killed by an Israeli airstrike on his home.

> Killed by drone fire while collecting water near the Hamad Towers in Khan Yunis.

> Killed along with her husband and children after Israeli forces shelled a residential apartment.

> Shot by Israeli forces.

> Killed in her home by an Israeli airstrike along with her two brothers.

> Killed by an Israeli helicopter strike, along with three of his relatives.

> Killed in an Israeli airstrike along with her husband and four of their children. She was also pregnant at the time of her death.

It's a sickening thing to see from a modern military. Quite reminiscent of the Bangladesh genocide, which originally had the tacit approval of Nixon before the damages spiraled into genocide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh_genocide

One of the journalists that Wikipedia simply lists as "Killed by Israeli forces", Abdullah Ahmed Al-Jamal, happened to be keeping hostages in his apartment and was killed during their rescue.

Yep this is purposeful confusion created by the anti Israel propaganda. A lot of these lists and reports mix in some collateral damage - which is expected when a terrorist organization hides among civilians - with people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time because they were the bad guys. It’s hard to trust these claims when you can find these examples hidden among them.

No comment on the other 260+ deaths? You seem to be missing the forest for the trees.

I don't have the capacity to investigate all of them. I would be suspicious of lists that include a hostage-keeper, with no mention of his other activities outside of journalism, as well as many purported journalists with no particular affiliation.

Statistically it's all just a long series of one regrettable incident after another that far exceeds the usual death rate of journalists in every other conflict this century.

  Masri's body was recovered alongside his camera in an external stairwell at the hospital, from where he had been broadcasting the view across Khan Younis when the Israeli strike hit, Reuters video shows.

  A second blast on the stairwell minutes later killed at least 19 people, including rescue workers and four journalists who had worked for outlets including the Associated Press, Al Jazeera and others.

  One of the four, Moaz Abu Taha, provided visuals to Reuters and others.

  Reuters photographer Hatem Khaled was injured in the second attack while on the stairs filming the aftermath of the first blast.

  Israel's military told Reuters on Tuesday that the journalists for Reuters and the Associated Press were not "a target of the strike." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel deeply regretted what he called the "tragic mishap" at the hospital.

Every individual case of journalists and rescue workers being killed in precision strikes launched with overwatch and followed through on to catch the responders can be quibbled about.

Overall - it's a shameful pattern.

Yes, that incident looked pretty bad. Bad things happen in every war, we just don't tend to hear much when it's not Israel. For example, Ukraine had some cases of prisoner abuse like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture_of_Russian_soldiers_in... (It's still minor compared to Russia's systematic prisoner abuse, though.)
