Civilians and war

The New York Times has a long piece titled, "Civilians Lose as Fighters Slip Into Fog of War." It focuses on the Lebanese civilian deaths during Israel's military actions. I'm going to clue the New York Times in on something. Civilians die during wars. Nations fighting ethically avoid causing needless civilian deaths, attempting to limit damage to non-militarial locations and infrastructure as much as possible given the situation. Nations fighting unethically make no distinction between the civilian and military death, or worse yet intentionally target and kill civilians. Israel is the former. Hezbollah is the latter. There is no equivalance.
