When a hostline enemy (as he thought) approaches you, you fire. As you know often its not easy to tell if someone is a militant or a child, palestinian gunmen do not wear uniforms have been known to shoot behidn groups of civilians etc.

My question would be Why are unarmed civilians approaching a tank?? It leads me to believe that some people over there are brain dead. Really, as an unarmed civilian in that region I am 100% sure I would stay the hell at home rather than walking up to tanks.
In light of that, as the tank commander I would wonder what these brain-dead civilians were doing walking up to my tank. Are they going to toss a grenade down my hatch? How close should I let them get?
Solution: Unarmed innocent bystanders should stay away from tanks in a war zone.
