    So the Lebanese police too?

    Just declaring anyone with a rifle as part of the enemy is a wild way to get yourself in front of the Hague.

    But also no. It depends on what the ambulance is doing. Going to the hospital? That’s a war crime. Moving armed soldiers to the Frontline, that’s a target.

    It’s not nearly as simple as gun=target. This is the military, not the American police.

      I don’t think Lebanese police is a combatant in the current war. If police participated in combat operations, they would be combatants.

        So, if you’re a police officer and a foreign nation is invading, you should just stand around looking really disappointed?
