Were they targeting according to location or identity? How did they positively identify the target?
Don't the rest of us have imagery.
Laws of war state that civilians and medical personnel (the persons with the crosses on their helmets and uniforms who take oaths to do no harm) are not to be fired upon unless they are firing upon you.
When the laws of war apply, the chain of command is searched for the parties that can and should have sufficient evidence of their operations to prove their case.
Whether or not the laws of war applied, there is prosecution for war crimes (once we return to rational cost reduction and equal due process).
