Original Note:
Per the UN, the principles of distinction and proportionality "prohibit civilian damage beyond the scope of military advantage." However, it is legal to carry out military operations where civilian casualties, including children, are proportionate to military advantage gained. https://childrenandarmedconflict.un.org/six-grave-violations/killing-and-maiming/
