Wait.... Are you saying that killing enemy combatants counts as an extrajudicial killing?

I thought you were talking about unlawful targets like civilians or captured soldiers.

Killing an enemy combatant is not an extrajudicial killing. Under international law targeting and killing lawful enemy combatants during active hostilities is a legal act of war, provided it complies with the principles of distinction, proportionality, and military necessity.
