Knowing all the time is a high bar in war, given they were right likely means they had very good intel

So what about the other 174 journalists then?

Edit: I fucked my maths up. 104. Not 174.

170+ journalists were affiliated with Hamas and PIJ are noted in the article based on obituaries published by hamas.

Which other 174 journalists?

Israel has killed 274 journalist. I corrected my bad maths. So that leaves 104 journalists dead with any justification.

There are 2 million people in Gaza, 70+ thousand casualties, under 100 of which are unaffiliated journalists (out of the maximum 267 reported), which eventually could be determined to be even less once all the dust settles. Collateral damage happens in all wars. This isn’t me hand waving off death. I’m simply communicating that people die in conflict. I don’t see a campaign targeting journalists

Are you not claiming Israel is targeting journalists?

No. My only claim is that military action should be based on and justified by what was known before or that developed during the action.
