Original Note:
Law of Armed Conflict does not require soldiers to always wear uniforms. It’s only illegal if perfidy is shown, which requires an intent to kill or capture; if the intent was not to engage in hostilities but only to rescue hostages, perfidy does not apply https://www.icrc.org/en/doc/assets/files/other/irrc_853_pfanner.pdf (ref pg 104, para 6)
