    If the woman is a terrorist then yes, by quite a huge lot. They’d be smarter not to act like frat boys in this situation perhaps, but young people are often idiots. Especially when in high pressure situations like a war.

      If captured terrorist = PoW then it can be argued that this photo is against the Geneva convention

      "prisoners or war must be treated with dignity, and not exposed to public curiosity – like circulating images on social media”.

        I don’t claim to be anything close to an expert in international law, but I think there’s some controversy around the question of whether captured Hamas soldiers are prisoners of war.

          Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu constantly refers to the “the war”. Therefore Hamas soldiers are PoWs. He can’t have it both ways.
