Yes, I didn't mean to equivocate. Unquestionably what Hamas did was much, much worse. Still, logically speaking, if we can excuse murdering one innocent civilian, we might have excused murdering a thousand as well.

The target was the propagandist; “Dugin reportedly made a decision at the last minute to travel separately” [1].

Even so, Dugin is a civilian in this conflict. He is a propagandist, not a military leader or combatant.

There's a difference between deliberate targeting of civilians and collateral damage. The latter is acceptable, as the alternative is literally impossible.
