Israel’s “exploding pagers” attack qualifies as a WAR CRIME under Geneva Conventions of 1949

As clever as some of Israel's leaders seem to think it is that Mossad decided to cause a bunch of seemingly innocuous pagers to explode in Lebanon this past week, the Geneva Conventions of 1949 says otherwise.The simple fact that there was no way to know who was even holding the pagers the moment they were detonated, nor was there any way to know who was standing near them, Israel's execution of this sinister operation constitutes a serious war crime.
"Indiscriminate attacks are prohibited," explains a section of the Geneva Conventions about how wars are to be conducted.
"Indiscriminate attacks are:
(a) those which are not directed at a specific military objective;
(b) those which employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective; or
(c) those which employ a method or means of combat the effects of which cannot be limited as required by this Protocol"

Blowing up handheld radios is also a war crime

Israel did not stop after the pagers, though. It proceeded to then also detonate a batch of handheld radios, which similarly injured and killed thousands of people, including innocent children.
Around 4,000 people in total were maimed in the two attacks, sustaining serious injuries to the head and stomach. Some of them are now blind or disabled, including the loss of fingers.
"As is its policy, Israel has neither confirmed nor denied its alleged involvement in the attacks," reported Middle East Eye.
"But multiple media organisations, including within Israel, have reported that the Mossad secret service infiltrated Hezbollah supply chains and planted explosives in the devices."
The reason why the International Court of Justice (ICJ) continues to go after Israel for its actions in the Middle East is because the Jewish state is playing the part of the bully and criminal who rejects what is right and true and instead pursues its own ends through any means necessary.
Before a nation takes any kind of military action, it is supposed to abide by certain core principles, including:
1) Distinction, which stipulates that all parties involved in warfare must distinguish between combatants and civilian populations. Israel is notorious for not abiding by this one.
2) Proportionality, which means not launching outsized attacks that result in lots of civilian injuries and deaths. Israel also blatantly disregards this tenet of war.
3) Military necessity, which means carefully assessing how to best accomplish a legitimate military purpose while limiting civilian casualties. Israel has shown that it is willing to do just about anything while calling it necessary.
"We don't have enough information to know how exactly the pagers were detonated, but if, as it seems from existing reports, they were simply simultaneously detonated, then it is difficult to see how these checks could have been undertaken," commented Alonso Gurmendi-Dunkelberg, a researcher at the London School of Economics.
In order for Israel to meet the above-outlined obligations under the Geneva Conventions, it would need to have checked each individual communication device to make sure its detonation occurred only against a targeted combatant and not against any civilian that might have mistakenly held it or been near it the moment it exploded.
"The question arises whether such a proportionality calculation for each explosion would even have been possible or meaningful given that we are talking about hundreds of explosions triggered at the same time," said Janina Dill, co-director of the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict.
"People typically carry their pagers with them, including taking them home. It is hard to imagine that it would have been possible for the attacking party to limit the effects of these attacks in accordance with the demands of international law."

Hundreds dead and more than 1,200 wounded in intensive Israeli airstrikes targeting Lebanon

More than 350 people have died following a barrage of Israeli airstrikes in eastern and southern Lebanon.
The death toll includes 42 women and 24 children, according to the Lebanese health ministry, while more than 1200 individuals have been injured so far. However, authorities emphasized that the situation is fluid as they continue to determine the overall impact of the attacks while the strikes continue.
This makes it the deadliest day of Israeli strikes in Lebanon since the war in 2006. The Israeli army had previously warned Lebanese citizens living in the southern part of the country and the Bekaa area via text message that they should avoid Hezbollah sites.
Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) is reporting that a number of civilian homes were targeted and destroyed in villages in the Bekaa area as well as several parts in the South, with at least 58 different villages and towns being hit so far.
The NNA stated: “The Israeli enemy continues to intensify its raids on all areas, valleys and outskirts of towns in the western sector [of south Lebanon].”
A resident of the coastal city of Tyre said that Israeli warplanes had been “raining” bombs near his home for several hours and that the city was “being emptied of its residents” after seeing numerous residential buildings collapse. The Lebanese government ordered all classes at universities and schools throughout the country to be suspended amid the ongoing airstrikes through at least Tuesday.
Hezbollah is already retaliating, with the group's military media announcing that fighters are targeting sites such as “the reserve headquarters of the Northern Corps, the reserve base of the Galilee Division and its logistical warehouses in the Amiad base, and the military industries complexes of the Rafael Company in the Zevulun area north of Haifa with dozens of rockets.”
Israel’s Iron Dome intercepted a number of rockets over Haifa, and the IDF claims that more than 200 rockets were fired from Lebanon into the Jewish state on Monday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized to the Lebanese people that Israel is at war with Hezbollah and not them while continuing to urge them to stay out of the way as they target the terror group.
In a televised speech, he asserted: “I have a message for the people of Lebanon: Israel’s war is not with you. It’s with Hezbollah.”
He also tried to justify his actions, stating: “For too long, Hezbollah has been using you as human shields. It placed rockets in your living rooms and missiles in your garage. Those rockets and missiles are aimed directly at our cities, directly at our citizens.”
U.S. military sending more personnel to Middle East

As tensions continue to rise, the U.S. military is sending a small number of personnel to the Middle East to support forces that are already positioned there.
Pentagon press secretary Major General Patrick Ryder announced: "In light of the increased tensions in the Middle East, and out of an abundance of caution, we are sending a small number of additional U.S. military personnel forward to augment our forces that are already in the region, but for operational security reasons I’m not going to comment further.”
It is not known how many troops are being deployed or where they will be sent. However, there are already thousands of American troops in the region, in addition to assets such as fighter aircraft and destroyers.
A spokesperson for the Iranian foreign ministry has warned that there will be “dangerous consequences” for the strikes while strongly criticizing the U.S. for supporting Israel and the “crimes” it is committing in Palestinian territories.
