This is like wars ought to be fought.
Don’t worry about civilian casualties, the civilians will get out of the way fast enough. They will become actual refugees (families with women and children).
When the civilians are gone, you can then pound the snot out of what’s left without worry.
Oh, and get rid of the lawyers. The troops have enough to worry about without worrying about getting charged with some stupid trumped up charge for injuring a civilian.

I honestly believe that in the big picture, there are fewer casualties, and in particular, civilian casualties and misery this way.
