That is different -- they are in Israel. Nobody would have been killed in Lebanon if they had all left a few months ago. What were they doing in Lebanon anyway? Oh, I know, they are Lebanese and all, but really, what were all those Lebanese people doing in Lebanon? You know Israel gave them every opportunity to leave Lebanon before killing them. I just can't understand these Lebanese, living in their homes and all as if they had not been told by Israel to flee their country -- it just does not make sense to me. Back in Israel, every life counts and everybody is innocent.

So you are saying then that the Israeli civilians are also collateral damage? I'm not sure you could reasonable say that those attacks are targeting the IDF. They are inaccurate the point where they could only target a whole town. However if Hezbollah had the ability to directly target the IDF deep in to Israel, and they used that ability to destroy an air base or a concentration of tanks, if a civilian was killed in the process, his death would indeed be collateral damage.
