This is the reason behind most of the criticism out there. No military action was necessary where civilians are the primary victims. Imagine working your entire life only for someone to come and destroy everything you’ve built, taking the lives of your loved ones in the process. There was an inexplicable bloodlust that has now turned into a nightmare that no one knows how to stop. Israel's way of settling differences through leadership assassinations may bring to power more radical generations who act unpredictably. Iran has an entire chain-of-command replacement system, where the assassination of leaders does not translate into a loss of combat capability.
