Doesn’t Arma 3 have an entire DLC based around war crimes and cleaning mines/explosives after a brutal war?
Absolutely, it’s the only video game I know of to have direct consultation from the International Committee of the Red Cross to portray humanitarian aid in war zones.

It’s fine, Hamas also uses scenes from movies in their propaganda all the time.
