noncombatant

What about those who can and do serve as noncombatants?

More 400 people have been killed in Lebanon, most of them fighters but also including more than 70 civilians and noncombatants.

Netanyahu has continued to face criticism at home and abroad throughout the war, which has killed 35,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which doesn’t distinguish between fighters and noncombatants.

The ministry does not distinguish between noncombatants and fighters in its count.

Israeli officials deny their forces have purposely targeted civilians, arguing Hamas purposely hides its forces among noncombatants.
