Just like when they raided a hospital dressed as medical personal.
Ugh how long is their war crimes list at this point?
The “beautiful” thing about perfidy is that it’s a particularly well defined war crime and it’s relatively easy to prove in the era of cameras everywhere.
This was a ruse of war, which is entirely permitted:

What isn’t permitted is fighting in civilian clothes, but if you read the article, there is nothing indicating that they did. It is entirely legal to move about and set up an attack in civilian clothes, provided they are discarded immediately before striking.
