It was von Clauswitz who foresaw that civilian populations would be part of this. We now see this being reversed by the U.S., with the use of technology that enables highly surgical strikes. There will still be collateral damage, but at least the effort is being made to minimize civilian casualties where possible. This is in sharp contrast to a group like Hezbollah that rarely even bothers to target Israel's military. They just go straight for the civilians.
