Rule 47 of IHL states that it's a crime to attack those who 1) are defenceless due to unconsciousness, shipwreck, wounds or sickness 2) clearly surrender; provided they abstains from any hostile act or escape Iraqi troops do not fit this definition as they were withdrawing https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule47 https://academic-accelerator.com/encyclopedia/highway-of-death
