      If the woman is a terrorist then yes, by quite a huge lot. They’d be smarter not to act like frat boys in this situation perhaps, but young people are often idiots. Especially when in high pressure situations like a war.

        If captured terrorist = PoW then it can be argued that this photo is against the Geneva convention

        "prisoners or war must be treated with dignity, and not exposed to public curiosity – like circulating images on social media”.

          I don’t claim to be anything close to an expert in international law, but I think there’s some controversy around the question of whether captured Hamas soldiers are prisoners of war.
