He was the target. Allegedly reported in Israeli media (I don't have a link), but the strike was a "surgical" (I hate the term) strike on the specific apartment he was in, not just the entire building like they so often do.
When pressed about it, Israeli propaganda will point to a joke he made on Twitter about the fake "baby in an oven" atrocity propaganda story, mark my words.

We call on journalists and global media agencies to intensify their presence in the Gaza Strip to witness the scale of destruction and the signs of genocide committed by the occupation army and its Nazi army against children, unarmed civilians, and all infrastructure. In this context, we extend an invitation to Elon Musk — who visited the occupation — to visit the Gaza Strip to see the scale of massacres and crimes committed against our people, and commit to standards of objectivity and credibility, and distancing from biased politics and double standards in dealing with the cause of our people and their legitimate rights.

Fuck, that's extremely upsetting. Literally nauseating. That level of cruelty is genuinely unfathomable to me.
The Americans still have to pay for the tents themselves, and then they get harassed by the police.
To summarize Levy:
When I first saw the footage of the immolated bodies in the car that Israel showed to journalists, I was immediately sceptical that Hamas brought that kind of firepower across the border on October 7; they mostly had assault rifles, hand grenades, and a few RPGs. That kind of destruction is much more probable from a helicopter than infantry.
The idea that Israel would then show that footage as justification for implementing similar atrocities on more than ten thousand Palestinians really makes me sick to my stomach.

Even the best climate scientists have been underestimating feedback, which is amplifying and accelerating the effects. A ton of models are linear when reality is exponential. We're finally in 2023 seeing more climate scientists admit that they've been far too conservative/optimistic.
Friendly reminder, camrade, as a best practice, to remove everything after and including the "?" when sharing a link like that, which uniquely identifies you.

He was deliberately assassinated. This was not "collatoral damage", well, except for his brother, sister, and the four children.
