Who's Really Targeting Civilians?

Here's a subtle, but key point that most news outlets are missing in the latest developments in the Israel - Hezbollah war. The CBC reported today that
"On Wednesday, Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah told Israeli Arabs to leave Haifa, and threatened more rocket attacks against Israel's third-largest city." [Emphasis added]
Notice that Nasrallah did not instruct Israeli civilians to leave Haifa, but only Israeli Arabs. Killing non-Arab Israelis is apparently not a concern for Hezbollah. This is in contrast to Israel, which has gone out of it's way to inform all Lebanese civilians of pending attacks.
