39. I'll answer...no problem...
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 02:11 AM by pelsar
in every briefing in the IDF they are general guidelines of not killing innocent civilians, the bottom line is that its up the commander in the field to make the final decision.....in essence it becomes a very personal decision based on the individuals knowledge of the weapon they will be using and the environment.

that said, i can only answer the question from my own personal point of view...

killing a 100 Palestinian civilians to stop a single kassam launch, provided its a "one time event"...i would not do.

possibly killing 10 Palestinian civilians to stop 100 kassam launches i would say yes..
______

in between those two numbers?....if its 4 hamasnikim with kassams ready to launch and 2 civilians? i would say yes......
____

your turn.
