First of all, in wars from even primitive times, a dead combatant was out of the game. Only especially savage foes did not allow the bodies of their enemies to be collected up and decently disposed of.
In our recent history, it has been seen that Arab fighters have mutilated the bodies of our dead. A prime example of civilized Jewish/Israeli norms is that we collect bodies of our enemies and inter them in a temporary special area with some form of identification on the coffin in case there will be a subsequent repatriation. |
