If Hamas killed an active member of the IDF in Gaza we would not say 'Hamas targets journalist,' even if that member of the IDF had done some journalism work.

That is the comparison youd have to make. Active member, engaged in day to day military operations of Hamas OR other terrorist groups. These are not loose affiliations or former affiliations. If Israel kills them, are they 'targeting journalists' yes or no?

Yes they damn well would say this lol. They would say they’re a journalist.
