When you are in an asymmetric conflict with a foe 100x as powerful, you dont give a shit if they say “hey that’s against the rules! you have to stand out in the open where we can kill you clean!” The American revolutionaries were called cowards and terrorists for staging guerilla attacks instead of marching clean lines of soldiers into battlefields in bright coats. They didn’t care either.
Israel practices collective punishment upon all Palestinians and is currently attacking the country. If nine men were guarding that hospital with these nine rifles, they were probably quite welcome there.
This little table of small arms is supposed to convince us they’d turned the hospital into a base? Get the fuck outta here.
