Yep. The only thing I am willing to predict at this stage is that thousands of civilians will die over the next several days, maybe have already died

I would compare this to the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland. An almost predictably futile strike at the colonial oppressor, with terrible consequences when the revolt is put down. Modern weaponry assures that the payback will be hell for all concerned.
