The fact that journalists in war zones died doesn't mean these were "targeted exclusively" is there any evidence that Israel has targeted journalists intentionally that weren't involved in the fighting?

Yes my dear, there's plenty. Many journalists had an airstrike called on their homes. Some were not in it at the time, others were killd with their families while not involved in the fighting or on the frontline. Many journalists also received direct threats from Israeli intelligence agencies pushing them to leave the country.

This just a sample. An airstrike is a targeted attack. Unless you can come up with evidence that they were targeting something else in each case?

Airstrikes also happen in the context of attacking an entire building or called during a firefight

I am saying whether you have evidence that journalists were targeted for being journalists like you are implying, and that is evidence i don’t think you have
