    That is factually incorrect. Eradication of cultural identity is a war crime/genocide.

    Striking the ministry of defense is not a symbolic target per SE. But decapitation of high command may not be desirable. But it may. Generally strikes against heads of state are highly frowned upon.

    A symbolic target is usually not a military target. You appear to mean a high profile military target. Which is decidedly not a symbolic target.

      Well hitting the ministry of defense is a military target, regardless of the location. Else everyone would put their military assets into cultural buildings and get shielded for free.

      But yes, purely simbolico/cultural target should be off the list
