Does launching rockets at Israel violate international law?

Did the kids killed by rockets in a soccer field pose an imminent lethal threat?

I’m gonna put you in a cage, feed you at a minimum and beat you every day.

When you gonna bite me out of despair, I will unleash all my fury on you, your family and your friends saying to everyone it’s YOUR FAULT this is happening.

Find what’s wrong in that little story and your eyes might open up.

Your story has nothing to do with Hezbollah

You say they’re terrorists if I’m not mistaken.

Why then would you judge morality against what you say is immoral? I think like every mainstream religious text ever has something about two wrongs don’t make a right.

First of all, I never said Hezbollah are terrorists.

More important, this is about legality not morality. Governments adhere to the laws of armed conflict not out morality, but because they want their enemies to adhere to them. International law is always transactional.

So if a government doesn’t adhere to the laws of armed conflict, then its enemies won’t adhere to them either. That’s pretty much the only enforcement mechanism, by the way.

Interesting.

It’s internationally illegal to booby trap by any means civilian objects in a non combat area filled with non coms.

No there’s the hague, this one Israel actually signed.
