[News] Detonating countless pagers fits any Western definition of Terrorism.

[Anti-Imperialist News]

Detonating countless pagers, now two-way radios as well, scattered all 
over a wide-ranging civilian population with no knowledge or 
accountability of where they would detonate fits any Western definition 
of Terrorism.

This attack violates the human rights law prohibition of extrajudicial 
executions and the IHL prohibition of booby-traps designed to look like 
harmless portable objects or like something likely to attract civilians. 
This targeting methodology, or rather this lack of targeting 
methodology, violates the IHL requirements of distinction, 
proportionality, and precaution.

Despite the violent ingenuity of the attack, this operation signals a 
lack of viable military options for confronting Hezbollah. Netanyahu is 
trapped between the impossible task of defeating Hezbollah and returning 
displaced settlers to their homes, and his far-right support base 
demanding open war.
