You can pick and choose your battle conditions and time should only be a factor that opposes them.

      You can advance and retreat at your leisure and drain the opponent through attrition. Find an area you know to be clear of civilians and draw the enemy to you. Any of these methods allow you to set the terms of the battle and control the space in a way that most benefits the moral aspect of your cause.

        I mean this sounds reasonable. But how do you want to make sure that terrorists don’t bring civilians with them?

        Furthermore, how about those that are in the tunnels?
