I would hesitate to call it terrorism, it was targeted at military persons with an intent at military disruption and any public casualties were collateral damage. It may have been a war crime though.
Sabotaging dual-use communications devices that are used, specifically, by members of an enemy paramilitary group is not a clear-cut war crime. On the other hand, there is a very strong argument that ‘blind-firing’ such devices en-masse without regard for the proximity of civilians or possibility of civilian harm is a war crime via insufficiently discerning use of force. But even that is something that could probably be argued in a legitimately-unbiased international court - not that it’ll ever fucking get to one, considering Israel’s history with international courts.
Either way, it’s a shite move that was only meant to escalate the situation so Bibi can stay in power a few more minutes. Vile shit.
Maybe, but the pager thing was definitely terrorism.
No, it’s not. You can’t fucking win with the pacifists.
100% correct

I was a war crime, I can’t find any way to even debate it not being.
I don’t think you can just call things you don’t like a ‘war crime’
I mean. It legally doesn’t fall under the definition of terrorism, so there is that argument, lol.
