Original Note:
Wrong on two fronts. 1. Wearing civilian clothes as a combatant isn't necessarily a war crime. Israeli security forces often do it. https://en.idi.org.il/media/6191/combatants_dressed_as_civilians.pdf 2. The hostages were shirtless, waving a white flag, and shouting for help in Hebrew. The killings were against IDF rules of engagement. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67738111
