Any attack on any sufficiently large structured system will indirectly harm those who depend on it, irrespective of how unjust, dangerous, and/or corrupt it might be. That does not make resistance inherently immoral. If we permit these institutions to take their subjects as hostages and refuse to confront that kind of monstrous behavior for what it is, we permit those institutions to continue abusing their populaces forever because they will never stop of their own volition.

Every resistance action carried out by every resistance group against tyranny throughout history has been washed in the blood of people who did nothing wrong.
