moral

asked 4 years ago

Hello,
Is a terrorist who is barricading himself in the house with his family or with just innocent people, and there is a fear that the terrorist will kill Israelis, is it morally permissible to take down the entire building, even if the innocent people die?

See my article here: https://mikyab.net/%D7%9B%D7%AA%D7%91%D7%99%D7%9D/%D7%9E%D7%90%D7%9E%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9D/%D7%94%D7%99%D7%91%D7%98%D7%99%D7%9D-%D7%90%D7%A7%D7%98 %D7%95%D7%90%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%99%D7%9D-%D7%9C%D7%91%D7%A2%D7%99%D7%99%D7% AA-%D7%94%D7%A4%D7%A8%D7%98-%D7%95%D7%94%D7%9B%D7%9C%D7%9C-%D7%95%D7%93 Beyond what I wrote there, there may be room to add another consideration: If I shoot at the terrorist, and in the process others are injured, perhaps there is room for permission, because I have the right to defend myself against him. What is forbidden is killing others in order to save myself, but if the death of others is a by-product of defense, perhaps that is permitted. I am undecided about this (in the article I assumed that it was forbidden).
