So if Israeli targets are "carefully chosen" why did they attack media building?

So if Israeli targets are "carefully chosen" why did they attack media building?
Israeli airstrikes in Gaza early Sunday morning injured several journalists, BBC reports. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tweeted that the targets included "a communications facility" but later said it was a Hamas "communications antenna."  BBC reports that the two media buildings hit housed offices of Hamas TV as well as Sky News and Independent Television Network. Russia Today reports that an initial Israeli strike on the building prompted the journalists to evacuate. Two more hits followed. Six reporters received minor to moderate injuries—one lost a leg—while local Italian, German, Lebanese and Kuwaiti media outlets were damaged. The IDF then tweeted that all the targets were "positively identified by precise intelligence over the course of months." This from BBC International Editor Jon Williams over Twitter:  #Israel's Foreign Press Association asking why 2 buildings housing journalists hit in #Gaza when IDF says targets "carefully chosen". — Jon Williams(@WilliamsJon) November 18, 2012 Sunday is the fifth day of Israel's offensive against Gaza. The IDF has targeted more than 900 sites and nearly 500 rockets from Gaza have landed in Israel since Wednesday afternoon. At least 48 Palestinians have been killed and more than 400 wounded while three Israelis have been killed and more than 50 wounded in Operation Pillar of Cloud.

Cast Lead also started with attacking journalists to prevent them from covering the events, and terrible things followed that. Is Israel targeting of journalists an indication that they are up to another massacre?
Please don't tell me they were launching rockets from the building. Even the official Israeli version didn't say that

Israel wants to send a message to the media: "if you report the truth, we can easily come back and kill you"

War is not only fought with arms, it is also fought with public information and propaganda. The more independent reporters there are that would cover the conflict, the more Israel worries that truthful news about their aggression would be exposed to the world. Israel wants to have some control on what information would be given to the public. They only want news reports that favor them to be aired. They need to use intimidation to try to put the media in check.
