do you include friendly fire kills in that? If the death is the result of a military operation, yes.

I obviously would prefer not to in this case, but friendly fire deaths are always a tragedy. Given they happen in every war, the West has gotten better in getting the numbers to decrease, and continue advances in medicine to care for wounded, regardless of cause.
