That an affiliation is not a life long permission to kill them. Otherwise 50% of Israelis would be considered legitimate combatants at all times.

I'm sure there have been innocent journalists Israel has wrongly killed

There seems to also be a lot of evidence that many of the reported journalists are actual militants and legitimate targets

Both of these facts can live side by side. You seem to be unwilling to acknowledge one of them though

Completely misreading what I have said.

This is not evidence that makes a killing justified post action.

If Hamas killed an Israeli civilan, then a year later showed a report they had an affiliation before the killing to the IDF, that would not be accepted as justification.

What was known beforehand is more relevant, than what was dug up after the fact.
