Just War, first articulated by St Thomas Aquinas, made clear you go to war when your cause is ‘just’ and you conduct war in such a manner as to minimize suffering of the innocent.

“•The war must be fought proportionally.
This means do not use more force than necessary or kill more civilians than necessary.”
