In the former, it refers to a belligerent’s response to a grievance and, in the latter, to the balance to be struck between the achievement of a military goal and the cost in terms of lives.»

Goldenziel, Jill (31. oktober 2023). «Proportionality Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Means In Gaza». Forbes(engelsk).

Military commanders, advised by their lawyers, must apply the principle of proportionality to every strike. Proportionality is assessed based on the information a commander has at the time of the attack itself. The principle recognizes that a commander makes decisions with incomplete information, under time and operational pressure, and within the fog of war. It requires that the commander makes a reasonable decision—not one that is always correct.»
