The Guardian view on Israel's booby-trap war: illegal and unacceptable | Editorial
Briefly

In World War II, guerrilla forces used booby-trapped objects to kill indiscriminately. These lethal tactics, prohibited by global treaties, echo in recent attacks attributed to Israel against Hezbollah.
The use of seemingly harmless objects as weapons to cause civilian casualties is explicitly banned in international law, and the recent explosions in Lebanon highlight this grave violation.
Reports suggest that Israel is behind the pager bomb attacks on Hezbollah members, a tactic that raises serious legal and ethical concerns given international prohibitions against such warfare methods.
Israel's approach in this conflict, characterized by remote attacks on civilian-populated areas, challenges the principles of proportionality and distinction outlined in international humanitarian law.
