      It’s dual-use infrastructure. It is used for both civilian and military purposes, so it’s a valid target under international law.

      Oh it actually is. In an actual war any part of the government or infrastructure that supports the military is fair game. So to use the US as an example, hitting the IRS building is probably not okay. But hitting the DFAS building, (they pay the troops), is a thing.
