Civilian Victims

There are traditional wars (such as the Arab-Israeli wars of '56, '67, and '73) in which armies face each other in open battlefields, and wars in which one side hides among crowds of civilians. In such cases, it is inevitable that the crowds themselves suffer the most casualties; this always happens in asymmetric wars.
On the other hand, during the Second World War, there was an attempt to break Britain’s resistance through the bombing of London, and later Dresden, Berlin, and the entire Germany became a field of rubble; in Japan, it even led to the use of atomic bombs.
Even in recent wars in the Middle East, there have been massive civilian massacres: for instance, in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Egypt, and Libya—not to mention ISIS.
