Happy Monkey is correct - most DOES mean more than half. Since the study is talking about civilian deaths, it stands to reason that the group which comprises the majority of the civilian population (women and children under 12) would account for most civilian deaths.
I don't know that the study calls the air strikes "untargeted." It questions if the air strikes are as precise as has been claimed.
