Infamous footage of HTS assaulting ISIS position and give surrendering militantns no mercy, Syria, E.Hama, Oct 16 2017

It's nice to see some taste of their own medicine.

I find it hilarious that his buddy came in after and started popping off shots after he already killed all four of them. Dude kill death ratio is off the church right now!

As sad as it is to see humans wasting other humans who are surrendering, it's hard to think of a better solution than this. Just like the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, the only good Mujahideen is a dead Mujahideen.

Also lol at both sides yelling Allahu Akbar

war crimes !!! even if they are terrorists The issue of shooting surrendering combatants is governed by International Humanitarian Law (IHL), especially the Geneva Conventions, which deal with how parties to a conflict should behave.

Geneva Convention and surrendered combatants

According to the Geneva Conventions (especially the Third Convention), it is prohibited to intentionally kill or injure an enemy who has surrendered or is out of action. This applies to all combatants, including terrorists, as long as they are in the power of whoever captured them and no longer pose an immediate threat.

Surrendered combatants must be treated as prisoners of war (POWs) unless they are civilians who do not qualify as legal combatants (for example, terrorists or insurgents with no formal ties to a state). Even in these cases, they still have the right to a fair trial and protection from summary execution.

Exceptions or ambiguities

If the surrenderee still poses an immediate danger: If there is legitimate doubt that the surrenderee is using surrender as a tactic to attack, such as simulating surrender to ambush or detonate explosives, the use of force may be justified, but it must be demonstrated as a necessity immediate self-defense.

Terrorists and legal status: Many terrorists do not qualify as legal combatants (such as soldiers in a recognized army) and may be classified as criminals or illegal combatants. However, even in these cases, summary execution or inhumane treatment is prohibited.
