>> a bomb dropped on an Italian border in WWII might accidentally kill ally French citizens

"On an Italian border." Where else could the blast possibly go, except on both sides of the border?

The other possibility is one side of the border.

That would be an impossibility with WWII technology. It's irrelevant -- the scenario you described already acknowledged the bomb crossing the border and killing French citizens on the other side.

It's not impossible. Some of that border has steep mountains. Bombs don't always drop where you plan. Which is called an accident.
