> One possible explanation is that journalists have a much higher probability of being close to where the fighting is Not closer than the people actually doing the fight. Look at this plot: https://imgur.com/a/SWNSYOn https://imgur.com/a/SWNSYOn For the curve of journalists killed to bend this way, my rough estimates point it's necessary for the journalist have ~3x the odds of being targeted when compared to a Hamas fighter, or ~75x more when compared to random Gaza inhabitant (~75:1 vs. ~25:1 odds against random person).
