The IDF has admitted to bombing a hospital in order to assassinate a prominent Palestinian journalist in Gaza, explicitly stating that they assassinated him for engaging in journalistic activities.
The official Israel Defense Forces account made the following post on Twitter (emphasis added):
Don’t let Aslih’s press vest fool you: Hassan Abdel Fattah Mohammed Aslih, a terrorist from the Hamas Khan Yunis brigade, was eliminated along with other terrorists in the ‘Nasser’ hospital in Khan Yunis. Aslih participated in the brutal October 7 massacre under the guise of a journalist and owner of a news network. During the massacre, he documented acts of murder, looting, and arson, posting the footage online. Journalist? More like terrorist.”
Documenting newsworthy acts and posting the footage online is also known as journalism. It’s the thing that journalism is.

Documenting crimes isn’t a crime. Doing journalism isn’t a crime.
Victim card doesn’t work here,

Death to Nazi entity of piSSreal and may every settler never know peace
No obviously not, how in the world did you manage to read that from the post?
Documenting a crime does not make you culpable of it, committing it does regardless of if you film it or not
Do you really think every crime journalist should be charged as a participant in each crime they report on?
