Not a war crime; terrorism. Hezbollah is a political organization.

Once again, it needs to be noted that this entire operation was designed to assassinate one guy. The part of the pager shipment was an order made by the Iranian consulate in Lebanon.

Since the Israelis didn't know which pager was going to the ambassador, they just rigged them all to explode. Then everyone who got caught in the crossfire was labeled "Hezbollah" after the fact.

...That does not, in fact, make it any better.

That makes it even more terrorism.
