Israeli forces killed 38x more journalists than Hamas did on October 7th.
Also, Al Jazeera has a habit of hiring freelance journalists and putting them in exacting situations without a care for their consequence. When they do die, Al Jazeera makes a hue and cry out of it because it serves their agenda and resonates very well with their audience (especially their Arabic reporting audience).
Seems clear to me that this is a deliberate campaign of terror constructed by the IDF to deter any form of independent journalism in Gaza. No different than hasbara or the Hannibal Directive - orders passed down from the top get obeyed, even if it costs the truth or innocent lives.
And media outlets like Al Jazeera will literally push their (often zealous) journalists to go to these frontlines, right where the targets are.
My journalist classmate, who worked for Al Jazeera as a videographer in Jordan and the West Bank, would tell us incidents where Al Jazeera (an outlet he joined out of wide-eyed positivity as college graduates have) would often give marching orders for their teams to be at the front lines of whatever protest was taking place in the WB. They would be the ones often directly facing off the IDF.
Ah, kinda like how Israel has a nasty habit of calling their military reservists "innocent civilians" when they're attacked? Or is it more like when they call the Golan Heights colonists "citizens" of a universally unrecognized occupation?
Lot of complex vocabulary here. I invite you to link as many cases of falsely-identified journalist deaths as you can find though. It sounds like a big issue, judging from your tone.

It could also be that killing civilians is a bad thing, and when Israel ignores the directly communicated press positions it exposes their indifference to collateral damage.
