:::Omrim, your comparison is weak.  Just because all Israeli citizens are required to serve in the military, doesn't mean all citizens are legitimate military targets.  If I was 19 year old male who planned on joining the military and for some strange reason I was killed in a war, should I be considered a civilian casualty or soldier casualty?  What matters is the present occupation, not the future or the past.  So if an ex-Hamas gunfighter was killed while tending to his gardens, he would be considered a civilian casualty.  Get it?  This subject needs attention seriously...
