I havn't heard a single quote from either side showing any regret about killing innocent people.
Perhaps they could use different weapons or a diffirent approach. I am no war expert, but to me 150+ civilian deaths in 5 days seems excesive under the circumstances. I certaintly don't think it is "measured".

Israel makes every effort to minimize civilian casualties while at the same time trying to protect their soldiers. What have they done - thousands of leaflets, written in arabic telling people to evacuate, have been dropped in areas with potential targets well in advance of any action. The citizenry knows where the Hezbolah centres are and knows that is where Israel is aiming.
Hezbolah, like most terrorist organizations, places their personel, bomb factories, training centres in civilian areas, not on any 'base camp'. They have no trouble hiding behind human sheilds, knowing that their enemies will think twice before shooting at them and not caring who takes the bullet for them.
