@thewardoll It says, right in the video, that several Hamas members made it onto the beach and committed attacks. Sounds like the dudes in the water were active combatants transiting to a combat area, so shooting them is not, in any way, a war crime.

Barbed wire has the potential for all kinds of nasty shit on it (literally). Better to do this and treat the infection quickly than let it fester and have to re-open
