I have never heard about any laws, and that wars were played by the rules.

But yeah, that is very disturbing, but expected to happen.
Yes, even though they expected that at some point, it obviously took them by surprise in this case.

The reason for 'rules of war' such as this, is that these strategies increase the peril for those ordinary citizens who honestly want to surrender. A jumpy soldier is not the guy you want taking you into custody.
