    There’s a long cut, and the camera zooms in on them before the shots. It’s pretty easy to spot that there’s context that is missing.

    It’s probably 50-50 if that context would change anything in reality, but the fact it’s missing could mean anything from the cameraman just getting more background footage to the group putting away their firearms after taking potshots at soldiers. Most likely, it’s somewhere in between all that and they were warned verbally to turn around.

      Hi. I see from your name you’re a developer. I’m a combat veteran. There’s no more context needed to determine this is a war crime they were slowly walking towards them with a white flag. At worst they should be taken prisoner and removed from the combat area quickly and safely.
