@notfinn1583 The Law of Land Warfare does not provide special carve out for insurgents or "Resistance" fighters. All combatants are expected to safely evacuate civilians from the battle area they control to prevent civilian casualties. Over the 24 years I was in uniform I observed several occasions where the US and its allies rehearsed this as what we titled Non-Combatant Evacuation Operations (NEO). The Isrealis already did this by evacuating approximately 100,000 civilians from the north of their country to provide safety for them. Hezzbollah is expected to do the same. But they qont because to them civilians are just unexpended propaganda ammunition.

Concur.. Under the Law of Land Warfare the Hezzies are required to evacuate the civilian personnel from the urban area before they use it for military purposes.

@General_Ward No, I disagree. The IDF followed the LoLW and evacuated something like 100,000 civilians to safety as part of a NEO operation to insure their safety. The Hezzies refuse to evacuate their civilian personnel because to them a civilian is like an unexpended round of propaganda ammunition. Civilian casualties are the point of Hezzy operations. That is the violation.
