Agreed. I would offer if we can see them doing that now, it falls under 'hostile intent' and per the Law of War/ROE can be targeted per the right of inherent self-defense.

If you have the grid, you have an ideal target for a TLAM strike from the carrier strike group. You could also further assert the Law of War does not protect terrorists, insurgents, and/or saboteurs.
