From AP:
"In a second airstrike around the port city of Tyre, Israel accidentally killed a Lebanese soldier when it hit a car it believed was carrying a senior Hezbollah official, the Israeli army said.
The Israeli army sought to justify the action, saying the leader believed to have been in the car was a threat to Israel. Instead, the car carried a Lebanese army officer and soldiers. 'They were, of course, not the targets and we regret the incident,' the army said.'
By this logic Israel can kill anyone they want because there are people (somewhere, anywhere) that are a threat to Israel.
