Isreal has a database of all the people living in Gaza as well as their places of residency. Most (if not all) of the prominent Palestinian journalists have been killed in their homes, along with their families, in strikes using smart munitions during the first few days of the "war". It's giving Isreal too much credit to say they weren't specifically targeted.
Yikes - that's news to me. I can't say I'm shocked - especially knowing the way they were barring journalists from entry, and they obviously want to control the narrative about their genocide.
They've also deliberately shot at and detained journalists in clearly marked press gear. It's not "oh they got caught in the crossfire".
