You know, I almost came back and posted a correction to my post saying that the soldiers who were fleeing could be considered a legitimate military targets.

I must say, I'm still not clear how it all happened with the fleeing people. There must have been large numbers of both soldiers and civilians fleeing. Whether they were mingled together, or the soldiers were flanking the civilians to protect them -- I'm confused about how it all actually went down.

I also heard from my ICRC colleague that some of the civilians who died fleeing Srebrenica were killed when they stepped on mines.

Read "Blood and Honey" by Sudetic, "Srebrenica, Record of a War Crime" by Honig, "Endgame" by Rohde, or the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation's Srebrenica, a 'safe' area report.
