Even before October 7th, the list of journalists Israel had killed was longer than my arm:

(this list does not include a large number of names prior to 2000; the first time I found this list it was a lot longer)

Post October 7th:

If a journalist was to go to Gaza, the West Bank or even Lebanon and report on what the IOF was doing to people, the IOF would literally shoot them; and post October 7th they would literally drop a bomb on them, and if they brought their family they would kill their family too.

In Western countries the worst they can expect is only to lose their jobs; even in Israel itself they're not completely safe as I recall a Palestinian journalist who was beaten bloody by an IOF thug.
