That they put civilians anywhere near those arms, if the allegations are true, is a warcrime against Sudan for using human shields.

The typical crew needed to drive across the desert was used, probably just a hired firm of truckers or mercenaries/handymen. Nothing I have read about the incident indicated that the caravan was over-staffed. It seems to me the people killed were just the transporters of the cargo. They may have known what they were transporting (if it even was weaponry, if it even was intended for Hamas), but they certainly didn't expect to get bombs dropped on them in them middle of the desert. The human shield accusation would be fruitless, in my opinion. You can get them for weapons trafficking, though, if it proves to be true.
