I didn’t graduate from a military warfare college but it seems to me if you telegraph you are only bombing at night that maybe they would be able to hide better

Bomb them by day and night....

The Allies did successive 1,000 bomber raids on Nazi Germany during WWII.

The strategy of night airstrikes is old, and repetitive by this point. We used night bombings during WWII. We also used it in Vietnam. The NVA and Vietcong adapted well by having a vast tunnel network and sticking to caves and basements so that even if the airstrikes happened at night, not that many were hit.
