Using KQL queries to dive into dynamic arrays Azure Log Analytics

I'm running this command to break out the dynamic arrays

 

IntuneAuditLogs
| where TimeGenerated > ago(7d)
| extend propertiesJson = todynamic(Properties)
| extend propertiesTargets = todynamic(propertiesJson.Targets)

 

But I have these arrays that appear to have these index numbers and data within them is different between each data type:

 

 

How would I go about referencing each of these and their subsequent values?

    If you know the Index number and field, then you can modify a query like this one to suit?

    SecurityAlert 
    //| where DisplayName == "Detected suspicious DNS resolution" 
    | extend entities = todynamic(Entities) 
    | project AlertName ,
              TimeGenerated,
              Description = parse_json(entities[0].HostName) ,
              osFamily =parse_json(entities[1].OSFamily)

      CliveWatson, What if I have a scenario where multiple IPs and users are under entities field?

      What I am trying to do is get the IP addresses under one single variable and the list of user IDs under another one!

      CliveWatson extending the commands to expand out index 0

       

      IntuneAuditLogs
      | where TimeGenerated > ago(7d)
      | extend propertiesJson = todynamic(Properties)
      | extend propertiesTargets = todynamic(propertiesJson.Targets)
      | extend mydisc = todynamic(propertiesTargets[0].ModifiedProperties)

       

      What I've seen is as I continue to dig deeper into the properties, the ModifiedProperties field varies based on the specific operation, which makes it painful to determine the values I can consistently pull
