Has any combatant in any armed struggle ever given a clear answer to that question?

If you multiply out the number of targets that Lavender generated by the number of acceptable civilian deaths per target, you get a number that is ~40% of all Gazans.
And if killing that many, there'd be many times more severely wounded/impaired, meaning, everyone
Journalists aren't asking combatants - they are asking politicians in the Israeli government.

Because there has to be a number, right? Is 30k dead palestinians too many? Is 50k? is 200k? How about all of them?

Ny combatants, I meant the political entites fighting - in this case that would be the state of Israel and Hamas.
