I actually agree with the @ICRC here. The damage caused to cities is horrific. The 90% casualties of modern wars being civilians is problematic statistics but absolutely civilians pay a high price and that is why terrorists want urban warfare, they want media images of civilians harmed, they want the lies about figures, they want the world to stop the militaries. This is why I advocate militaries must be able to dominate in urban terrain. A strategy of avoiding urban warfare leads to more as terrorists/non state actors that do not follow the laws of war or any human rights will continue to use it to their advantage, thus increasing the costs on civilians. This is what Hamas built in Gaza. This was the Hamas strategy. https://bird.makeup/@icrc/1863115850519023760
