What a twisted view of what happened, it was not fired at a nearby news crew at all. Firstly the bridge was not fully demolished, then the jurno stupidly decided to stand next to it to do his bit to camera, probably with half an eye on a journalist award, and the guided bomb hit the exact same place as the first one, you can actually see it in the vid.
Israel spots a journalist!

Do you think that the IDF has fired this rocket at the journalist rather than the bridge that they warned to stay away from
That is not what this was

Could you provide a link to that policy John?
John d propaganda as per usual
In two years of war, over 223 Palestinian journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza in the deadliest period in the history of journalism. The Israeli government’s systematic targeting of journalists is ongoing, exacerbated by the international community’s failure to punish the government. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) urgently calls on governments across the world, the United Nations General Assembly and the international community to take immediate and concrete action to stop Israel’s human rights violations in Gaza, including the deliberate targeting and killing of journalists. The IFJ also demands that the Israeli government lift its media ban and grant foreign reporters independent access to Gaza.

That is an accusation, I asked to see the policy that John has told us that there is an IDF policy of assassinating journalists, If such a policy exists then it will be in written form not based on chinese whispers.
Do you think a written policy exists specifically targeting Palestinian women and children? If not, are all those dead ones, just Chinese whispers?
Accusation, my arris.
Israel has a policy of murdering journalists more like.
Only a fool would write down a criminal doctrine for full disclosure in the ICC and, despite his many faults, Netanyahu is no fool.

So there is no policy then?
Yep. 220+ dead journalists and media workers, say there is. You just haven't read it yet.
American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh’s murder on May 11, 2022, while she was covering an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operation in the West Bank town of Jenin. The IDF said in September 2022, following a brief investigation, that it was not possible to “unequivocally determine” the source of the gunfire, but there was a “high possibility” that Abu Akleh was “accidentally hit” by Israel.
In May 2023, CPJ’s “Deadly Pattern” report showed that over 22 years, members of the IDF killed at least 20 journalists. Despite numerous IDF probes, no one has ever been charged for these deaths. The systemic impunity has continued into the current war: the IDF has conducted no criminal investigations into any of at least 174 Palestinian and Lebanese journalists it has killed since the Israel-Gaza war began on October 7, 2023, even in cases where there is significant evidence of a war crime.
“Failure to fully investigate and hold accountable those responsible for the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh and 19 other journalists killed by Israel prior to her murder has effectively given Israel permission to silence hundreds more,” Ginsberg said.
The murder of Shireen Abu Akleh and subsequent cover-up where Israel initially denied having anything to do with it tells of a deliberate policy to hide the truth of their attitude to journalists covering events in Gaza and the West Bank as the IDF conducts the Zionist policy to ethnically cleanse Palestinian areas for settlers...and cover-up acts of violence by those settlers. There is a pattern of behaviour that tells of a deliberate policy of action.
