Genocide != Civilian casualties. Genocide is about the extermination of a people.

Thus resulting a lot of civ casualties. If it's genocide is for ever up to debate. Civ casualties are usually not that debatable. Without a large number (%) of civ deaths in some place there cannot be a genocide.
For the most part "mass murder" and "genocide" have a lot of overlap. But it's not the same crime.
