Definition of jihad:
a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty, or a personal struggle in devotion to Islam especially involving spiritual discipline.

Fact:
Jihad doesn't mean unnecessary war , violence, hate, bombs, etc. It means to protect one's self and country against enemies and/or rivals.
What are the rules of jihad?
It must not be fought to gain territory. It must be launched by a religious leader. It must be fought to bring about good - something that Allah(god in Arabic) will approve of. Every other way of solving the problem must be tried before resorting to war. It should also completely exclude killing women, kids, and any worshiper of a god of any religion, not cutting down trees and plants, breaking into houses, and many more restrictions to keep everyone safe and peaceful.
Innocent people should not be killed.
Women, children, or old people should not be killed or hurt in any way.
Women must not be raped or touched.
Enemies must be treated with justice.
Wounded enemy soldiers must be treated in exactly the same way as one's own soldiers.
The war must stop as soon as the enemy asks for peace.
Property must not be damaged.
Poisoning wells is forbidden. The modern analogy would be chemical or biological warfare.
