The whole thing about civilians comes down to, “What are civilians?” and “Are there civilians in there?”Debating that is nice and all, but the moment your entire mode of awareness is that there are no civilians in there, then maintaining a safe range from civilians is not something you consider, even if you’re shooting at something that’s very likely to have civilians inside it. It’s as if [you say to yourself],“This area, there haven’t been any civilians in it for a long time,” that’s irrelevant to us by then– we’ve been fighting for two days already.

So the safety ranges, too, are of no importance? You pay no attention to that. Civilian presence is not something that’s on your mind, so you don't give it any attention in any consideration. In operational considerations, in safety considerations.
