Every soldier in war is responsible for war crimes. There is no such thing as chain of command when it comes to morals.

Quran states that the Pharoah, and Haman (his minister), and their soldiers were wrong.

“إن فرعون و هامان و جنودهما كانوا خاطئين”

And Prophet Mohammad used to say that God will take revenge of the oppressor, and whoever sharpens their pencil or hang their whip.

“إن الله ينتقم من الظالم و ممن برا له قلماً أو علّق له صوتاً”
