Your statement doesn't have any connection or relevance to mine. Non sequiturs seem to be your "debating" style.

I specifically stated that Hezbollah could also kill people, even civilians, and have it be collateral damage.

If your having a problem understanding -

If your trying to kill still active enemy combatants as part of a war, and you succeed its not murder.

If your trying to kill enemy combatants as part of a war and you kill civilians because you miss your target or because they are caught in the blast radius, then its collateral damage, not murder.

If your trying to take out strategic assets that are used in the war effort (weapons factories or stockpiles, bridges, armed or even unarmed transports, radar, communications infrastructure, etc.) and you kill civilians than its collateral damage.

If your trying to kill non-combatants and you do, then it is either murder, or at least a war crime as bad as murder.
