Statistically it's all just a long series of one regrettable incident after another that far exceeds the usual death rate of journalists in every other conflict this century.

  Masri's body was recovered alongside his camera in an external stairwell at the hospital, from where he had been broadcasting the view across Khan Younis when the Israeli strike hit, Reuters video shows.

  A second blast on the stairwell minutes later killed at least 19 people, including rescue workers and four journalists who had worked for outlets including the Associated Press, Al Jazeera and others.

  One of the four, Moaz Abu Taha, provided visuals to Reuters and others.

  Reuters photographer Hatem Khaled was injured in the second attack while on the stairs filming the aftermath of the first blast.

  Israel's military told Reuters on Tuesday that the journalists for Reuters and the Associated Press were not "a target of the strike." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel deeply regretted what he called the "tragic mishap" at the hospital.

Every individual case of journalists and rescue workers being killed in precision strikes launched with overwatch and followed through on to catch the responders can be quibbled about.

Overall - it's a shameful pattern.

Yes, that incident looked pretty bad. Bad things happen in every war, we just don't tend to hear much when it's not Israel. For example, Ukraine had some cases of prisoner abuse like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture_of_Russian_soldiers_in... (It's still minor compared to Russia's systematic prisoner abuse, though.)
