And: "allegedly ".
International human rights law exists to protect the equality and dignity of every human being, even in times of war.
Law exists to defend values central to our societies, and to our world.
Simultaneous targeting of thousands of individuals, whether civilians or members of armed groups, without knowledge as to who was in possession of the targeted devices, their location, and their surroundings at the time of the attack, violates international human rights law and, as applicable, international humanitarian law.
It is difficult to conceive how, in these circumstances, such attacks could possibly conform with the key principles of distinction, proportionality, and precautions in attack, under international humanitarian law. If the attacker is unable to assess the compliance of the attack with binding rules of international law, notably the likely impact on civilians, then the attack should not be carried out.
International humanitarian law prohibits the use of booby-trap devices in the form of apparently harmless portable objects which are specifically designed and constructed to contain explosive material.
It is a war crime to commit violence intended to spread terror among civilians.
I call, again, for an independent, thorough, and transparent investigation into the circumstances of these explosions. Those who ordered and carried out these attacks must be held to account.
Let me be clear – this method of warfare may be new and unfamiliar. But international humanitarian and human rights law apply regardless and must be upheld.

I take the label of Zionist with honor because I believe that the sovereign state of Israel should exist.

If you love them so much you can give them one of your states instead of giving them lands stolen from arabs.
But if you want more bloodshed, feel free to wear that badge like it is something to be honored.

In a series of coordinated attacks, Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel's Jezreel Valley early Sunday, targeting multiple locations, including Haifa, Ramat David air base, Nazareth, Afula and the lower Galilee.
"Another barrage of Hezbollah rockets at Nazareth. The hometown of Jesus, a town which is 70% Muslim & 30% Christian and almost entirely Arab," noted American Evangelical leader Johnnie Moore, president of the Congress of Christian Leaders, on social media.
"For months Hezbollah has been targeting the Galilee, the geographic heart of Jesus' ministry."
