Abstract

[Precision is a doubly demanding concept. It is used in two related senses: in the calculation of an action aimed at the target to be hit and only that target, and also with regard to the distinction between civilians and combatants. This is one of the reasons why the policy of targeted killings is, no doubt, the most emblematic example of all forms of preventive action. Widely vaunted for their precision, “targeted killings” (the criterion and the term are both worthy of discussion) are one of the marks of Israel’s battle against those it refers to as enemies who kill its citizens. The United States uses similar methods.]
