Israel seems to have decided that Anything goes in their offensive against Hamas and HezbollahBut what most worries international organizations are the tactics they use, openly violating the norms of international humanitarian law.
On Thursday afternoon, Israeli fighters flew over Lebanon throwing sonic bombs while a response from the head of the Lebanese militia to the latest attacks has been published. Added to this are reports from traps hidden in everyday objects, such as walkie-talkies and pagers, which exploded on the markets and densely populated areas, causing civilian casualties, including children.
Co-director and editor-in-chief of “The World Order,” Blas Moreno, said: “Because first of all, a blind attack is illegaland secondly, booby traps are prohibited. “Explosives are camouflaged in everyday objects that any civilian can mistake, thus increasing the risk of harm.”
International law clearly prohibits intentional attacks on civilians, but Israel appears to be flouting these rules. Carlos de las Heras, spokesperson for Amnesty International, said: “The explosion of these pagers has resulted in the deaths of several civilians. a war crime. “Any attack directed against the civilian population or civilian objects may be qualified as such.”
Eduardo Saldaña, co-director of “The World Order”, also stressed the gravity of the situation: “Israel has already launched massive bombings in Gaza, but now its tactic in Lebanon could be considered. state terrorism“.
With fighter jets constantly flying over Lebanese airspace, thetrigger flares and sonic bombsIsrael is generating a climate of terror among the population. “The problem is that neither Lebanon nor any actor in the region has the capacity to stop these attacks,” Moreno concluded.
