The fake narrative around the Dilla operation has been debunked countless times already.
But its important to reiterate:
Fighting at Dilla was not between SNM and civilians, it was between SNM and 1000s of Afweyne soldiers with tanks under command of Ogadeni Gen. Siyaad Dawuud.

Who is Gen. Siyaad Dawuud?
A war criminal who was second in command and responsible for the aerial bombardment and genocidal campaign in Hargeisa and its environs.

Why did SNM mujahids make an advance on Dilla specifically:
1. Dilla became the base for remnants of 26th Brigade of the Somali army.
2. The 26th Brigade was the most formidable unit of the army, they fortified their positions at Dilla with tanks.
3. THEY REFUSED TO SURRENDER.

This next passage is very important, it illustrates how SNM were only interested in pursuing defeated army units. As soon as their objective was achieved they withdrew in 24h.
This is incredible. Show me any militia in military history showing this level of restraint during war.

Under no circumstance could the SNM allow the Somali army to regroup at Dilla and mount another genocidal offensive against civilians.
