<p>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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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. <br>
