Original Note:
Combatants receiving medical care are not considered engaged in combat and are not legal targets. It is unlawful under Article 37 of the Geneva Conventions for soldiers to disguise themselves as civilians to kill enemies. This is a war crime no matter who the targets are. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v2/rule47 https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/api-1977/article-37
