First it was their pagers. Now it’s Hezbollah’s walkie-talkies that are exploding.
The latest attack has killed or injured a few more hundred people, Hezbollah members or otherwise. It’s apparently seeming more and more likely that it’s the work of Israel, although no one formally claimed responsibility yet.
Whoever did it though, it’s likely against international law. Per the UN human rights commissioner:
Simultaneous targeting of thousands of individuals, whether civilians or members of armed groups, without knowledge as to who was in possession of the targeted devices, their location and their surroundings at the time of the attack, violates international human rights law and, to the extent applicable, international humanitarian law
Human Rights Watch feels similarly, based on the indiscriminate nature of using devices whose location and proximity to civilians could not be reliably known.
