targeted killings

Targeted killings refer to the deliberate elimination of specific individuals who are believed to pose a threat, often in the context of national security or counter-terrorism. This practice is typically carried out by governments or military forces and may involve the use of drones or special operations. While proponents argue that it effectively removes threats, critics raise ethical concerns about legality, potential for civilian casualties, and the impact on long-term security. The issue also highlights the balance between protecting a nation and adhering to international laws and human rights standards.
