I’m not sure what you mean. They compiled a list of technology specialists and concluded that there was enough evidence there to claim that IT experts are being targeted. The list includes names such as Haitham Muhammad Al-Nabahin. If you want an independent verification that he was indeed killed, and a prominent programmer, here is a news link[1] published the day before this report. You can do the same for e.g. Tariq Thabet[2].
The people on the list compiled by Euro-med HRM were all killed by the Israeli army in its ongoing genocide in Gaza. It doesn’t matter how biased the source is, the list is still there full of martyrs, each one of them experts in the IT industry, and no doubt some of them even with accounts here on HN which they leave behind.
> It's exactly the sort of thing countries at war do
It's not, usually armies do not target civilians, and especially not civilians upper class (which devs are in Gaza). For multiple reasons, but one of those was very clear in Ukraine: if they killed Chernobyl's keepers, or Zaporiga's engineers, this would have led to troubles.
Civilians can absolutely be targeted if it fills a legitimate military objective. And Hamas doesn't follow the rules of war and doesn't distinguish between civilians and military objectives either. It's like how Hamas and Hezbollah both use journalists as spotters and then complain when they get killed. Communications networks are 100% legitimate targets and so are the people maintaining them.
