There are a few of things I like about this.

a) "Captured" - not "wasted".

b) No collateral damage - a.k.a. no innocent deaths.

c) It's public - which safeguards his rights until he faces a court.

More of it - catch more of 'em - if indeed he proves to be guilty.  But
that's for a court to decide.

If you just rocket them - as the Israelis so often do - you lose the
opportunity to exhibit them in public.
