This is where proportionality comes in. Military action has to be proportional to the goal.
Attacking a UN camera risks death and injury. Now consider two goals:
1. Prevent negative reports
2. Prevent the death of IDF soldiers from leaked operational information
(2) seems proportional, at least defendable. (1) absolutely not.
And that's where priors come in: if you believe the IDF is fundamentally unethical and just a tool for Netanyalu shenanigans, you might think (1) is the most plausible explanation. I don't think they are, so I find (2) more plausible. Until more information comes in.
