> I'm wondering why I can't find any reports of non-Al Jazeera or non-Palestinian journalists being targeted

Mostly because they're not there? Israel doesn't allow outside journalists into Gaza[1]:

In the letter, the 55 journalists write that "foreign reporters are still being denied access to the territory, outside of the rare and escorted trips with the Israeli military".

The escorted trips are highly controlled and often only to show tunnels that the military says are used by Hamas or weapons stores.

Everybody forgets that Gaza borders with Egypt too. No one blames Egypt for not allowing humanitarian aid through that border but Rafah is open for passage of people apparently.


> Rafah is open for passage of people apparently

All sources I can find say the Palestinian side of the Rafah border is currently controlled by Israel, and has been for over a year.

If you have some credible sources that say something else then do share.


Looks like you are right and I am wrong.
