Not really. Terrorism is a subset of guerilla warfare. Terrorism usually
indicates attacks against non-military targets, whereas guerilla warfare
usually makes no distinction.

I think the grey area comes in through the definition of "non-military
targets". Since some people here believe that most Palestinians
support terrorism, it becomes a simple matter to justify killing any
Palestinian, since the argument would go that supporting terrorism makes
them an accomplice to terrorism and thus a military target.
