Not only is this a war crime, it endangers actual civilian aircraft by making it more likely they will be targeted.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
