3. Just a quick search reveals that more than 3 alleged journailsts targeted by IDF were Hamas affiliates

Reports of available evidence included:

https://www.jns.org/al-jazeera-journalist-outed-as-hamas-commander/
https://www.jewishpress.com/news/eye-on-palestine/hamas/idf-two-journalists-killed-in-gaza-combat-were-terror-operatives/2024/01/10/

Earlier claims by IDF of their affiliation with Hamas were summarily dismissed by mass media, even though evidence was eventually provided. As far as I know, none of the articles dismissing earlier IDF claims were corrected to reflect the now available evidence.

So CPJ is a bit behind in their investigations.
