    But… Why target journalists when they already have free reign of terror. Few foreign journalist could only cause so much damage.

    The Israeli army themselves are attracting lot more notoriety.

      Why not, it’s not like the French government will do anything about it. Killing her sends the message to other Western journalists that they’re not safe if they badmouth the genocide. If this shuts some of them up, it’s a win for Israel.

      Israel has proven that they’re willing to target any journalist or independent media outlet both domestic and foreign. They’ve even targeted the center-right (and very Zionist) Haaretz.
