who is the intended target? if civilians are killed because a combat target has chosen to surround itself with civilians (i.e. putting women and children in front of troops firing their weapons, or hiding munitions inside schools and hospitals) then unfortunately civilian casualties are unavoidable. that is very different than avoiding military targets in favor of targeting the weak and undefended.
