Please understand that targeting civillians is a much, much different thing than targeting people who are actively trying to destroy you, and have called for the destruction of all people of your religion or ethnicity. Be careful of your language.
Civilian casualties are a tragedy - but it's not at all clear that the alternative is less tragic.
Look, these are people who have quite literally called for the destruction of Israel and the killing of all Jews. It would be better to stop these folks by peaceful means - but there comes a time when the situation must be addressed by force.
