Is rebellion against the ruler a justification for killing his aides?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: If we assume that there is a legitimate rebellion by a group, does this justify killing the aides of this ruler and everyone who works in his government, such as the police, security forces, and others?

Answer: I have previously informed you: it is not permissible to rebel against the ruler except under two conditions:
The first is: the presence of open disbelief on their part, for which there is proof from Allah.
The second condition is: the ability to remove the ruler in a way that does not result in a greater evil than his rule, and without this, it is not permissible.
