This is most covered conflict playing out in very constrained area again if most deaths are from air strikes or shelling to me it would be indication that collateral damage is more likely explanation if most deaths are from targeted small arms fire it would be indication that journalists are being targeted.
- tyingq 3y agoThe most recent journalists killed in Lebanon was an aerial strike that looks very targeted.[1] Much like a prior incident from October 13th.[2] There was also a specific aerial bombing of a journalist's two story home that looks very targeted.[3] Counting just face to face killings seems flawed. It really appears like they have some flow of intelligence to act on in many ways.

- qaq 3y agoThere are pretty few details for me to make a judgment to be honest. From me observing Ukraine war journalists at/or close to the front line are generally with mil. units at or near military positions. So how would you distinguish ? The links you provide have 0 details other than journalists being in an area where active fighting or fire exchange is happening. If journalists are in an open area not near military units assets or positions and get hit that would obviously indicate they were specifically targeted.
