Just bad luck eh, wrong place at the wrong time.
It is certainly possible but consider this
1. She was not killed in the initial strike on the car at 14:45. She took shelter in a nearby house and phoned where she was through various channels but was then targetted with an airstrike at 16:27. Even still alive under the rubble, the IDF prevented an ambulance from providing aid which may well have saved her.
2. The IDF have supposedly agreed to a ceasefire. Even if they did not know that she was a journalist, what is their justification for firing at any unarmed civilian?
3. As pointed out by MechEngr, how is it that so many other journalists have developed such bad luck in the last two years? Why are the journalists in Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza so much unluckier that their counterparts in Ukraine or any other conflict?

Ps: The link in my previous post is not alone in describing this killing as "targetted"
