Did Israel Violate International Law?

Imagine buying a discount cell phone for your grandma or mother. Then, after calling her one afternoon, you get a report that after you phoned, it exploded, killing her. These kinds of attacks mirrored reality this week when at least 37 people were killed by remote detonation activation or device triggers. 

Comparing Hezbollah members to be innocent or the same level as civilians is laughable. But what about the child that died?

Was he participating in these meetings with this dangerous organization? What of his parents?

The United Nations human rights office has claimed these strikes are indiscriminate because it's difficult to know who was holding these devices, where they were, or when they exploded.

 And although most were distributed to Hezbollah members - what about the rest? Should you even buy an electronic device online anymore after this?

“There must be an independent, thorough and transparent investigation as to the circumstances of these mass explosions, and those who ordered and carried out such an attack must be held to account,” the U.N. human rights chief, Volker Türk, said in a statement.

Worse yet. What if these devices detonated inside a civilian airplane, full of U.S. or Canadian citizens?

I guess we never thought of that one.
