I'm surprised anybody still takes Al Jazeera at their word on anything. They're no more trustworthy than any Israeli news media. That is to say, not at all.
As for Al Jazeera crying that their journalists keep getting targeted, I'm wondering why I can't find any reports of non-Al Jazeera or non-Palestinian journalists being targeted, when other news media like BBC are more than happy to paint Israel in a terrible light (whether deserved or not).

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.

There is an interview with one of the victims out there, the Russian guy.
Israel's mainstream media is of course as sus as Jazeera when it comes to war coverage however there is hebrew language media that publishes lots of stuff that goes against governments line
Aljamal had written a column for Al Jazeera in 2019.
The Qatar-based outlet said Aljamal was never an employee.
Before his death, Aljamal was contributing to the Palestine Chronicle news outlet, where he wrote a plethora of stories covering the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza during Israel’s offensive.
There was literally an al jazeera tweet where they posted photos of journalists and Abdallah Aljamal was in that same list. I found out about this story from replies to the tweet
