Is this not explicitly a massive violation of international law and war crime?
Yes it is, and not because of whether the attacks were targeted.
This is a US West Point essay BTW.
Interesting he feels clear to admit this after Trump is elected.
The Kamala administration was going to sanction them for being related to this event.
Who’s the terrorist now?
You’re saying it was not targeted at combatants, or that there was a lot of collateral damage?
Two health workers and two children were killed, many from the civilian branch of the governent were injured (which were blatantly categorized as Hizbullah fighters). Even if not a single civilian were killed or hurt, some of these pagers exploded in grocery stores and other public spaces effectively terrorizing and traumatizing the local population.
So yes, it was a terrorist attack. Recently, Israeli occupation in Gaza was added to the list of genocides in wikipedia, this should be added as a list of terrorist attacks in the middle east.
Still, a lot more clinical than having to drop a bomb on each of these Hezbros. So overall very beneficial for the Lebanese civilians
Are those the only requirements you think make something an act of terror?
Which requirements are they missing, that are applicable to the pager attack?
It’s explicitly a war crime, whether or not it was “targeted”.
I mean it didn’t take a genius to figure it out.
Guiltier than a Russian standing next to a pot of polonium tea.
I mean no shock that he would carry out a plan to kill people indiscriminately. What I wonder is if he could get the devices into their hands to carry out this attack, what else have they sold to Hezbollah?
