Sure there is.

If I'm a policeman, and in order to save lives I need to use my weapon and it results in the deaths of an 8 year old, that's permissible by law.

And so do the laws the of war.

If, in order to destroy the war fighting ability of an aggressor, I bomb a civilian center where the aggressor has placed offensive weapons, and is is judged by probability and proportionality to be reasonable, then it's legal.
