Then according to your flawless logic, Turkey has every right to bomb towns where PKK terrorists are hiding. They like to use civillians as their shield too as their counterparts. If we kill few hundred civillian on the process, who cares? Right?
But then i'm sure we would see lots if Iranian member condemning such an act by Turkey.
Nobody bombs entire cities, nobody bombs even part of cities for tiny terrorist cells (well, US does with drones, but thats another topic). But for thousands of terrorists? In fortified positions? You are screwed if you go on foot with light weapons. Thats why first government asks civilians to leave and with Red cross try to evacuate those districts, and then bombs, uses artillery, tanks, etc. There is no better way.
Example: in Allepo there is an old castle, it was protected by 18 soldiers, while 500 terrorists on foot (this group didnt had heavy ammunition) tried to take that castle, 200 died and they still failed.
Why do you think USA in urban warfare first sends the missiles, fighters, choppers, and only then sends soldiers? Answer this, and you'll understand why Syria does it.
