    This is the key thing here. People can whine about this attack, but this was targeted and it worked with low collateral damage, which also makes it legal (as in not a war crime).

    The problem is everything else that Israel is doing since Oct 7, causing 1/3 of the Palestinian casualties to be children.

      The very nature of a supply chain sabotage like this is indiscriminate.

      Human Rights Watch :

      Customary international humanitarian lawprohibits the use of booby traps – objects that civilians are likely to be attracted to or are associated with normal civilian daily use – precisely to avoid putting civilians at grave risk and produce the devastating scenes that continue to unfold across Lebanon today. The use of an explosive device whose exact location could not be reliably known would be unlawfully indiscriminate, using a means of attack that could not be directed at a specific military target and as a result would strike military targets and civilians without distinction.

      It’s low collateral damage the same way a suicide bomber is. So, I guess, your IDF-brained take is suicide bombers are low casualty and precise.

        It’s a low collateral attack when you see civilians as enemies and want literally all of them dead.
