Death From Above Indeed.
Gregg Easterbrook has an excellent piece (as usual) on his blog at New Republic concerning the technology used to by Israel to kill Ahmed Yassin. The anti-tank missile technology reduces collateral damage to very low levels. Combined this with the use of drone aircraft to reduce the risk to combatants and it is pretty scary, but it makes possible pinpoint strikes against individuals in urban areas. While it is disturbing, I think extremists will be much less likely to hide behind innocents in the future.
