Thats OK Maggy, I should have explained my point better, instead I can see where I appeared to be condoning this action. In my opinion, Hezbollah created many of the situations deliberately, using civilian locations to fire weapons, I do believe both sides used underhanded tactics during the Gaza conflict.
During WW2, the RAF bombed a school, where many children died, they mistook it for a Gestapo building. The Dutch people forgave us, understanding why the raid was necessary. In the same light, a commando unit destroyed another building, used by the Gestapo for interrogation, knowing they would be deliberately killing innocent civilians.
There are, & have been occasions where it was, & is necessary to kill innocent civilians, in order to complete a mission. Although distasteful & abhorrent to any civilised person, it is, I have been told, a very "personal" feeling, & never discussed between ranks.
Terrorist groups have no feeling or remorse, when it comes to killing innocents. I just hope to God professional soldiers never feel the same.
