Agreed.
A targeted strike against enemy combatants (with minimal civilian deaths) is LEGAL WAR.
Indiscriminate booby traps into a civilian population (regardless of the original buyer) is definitely TERRORISM.
At this point, Israel’s detractors will say morally it’s no different than Hamas.
The dropping of bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima was TERRORISM as well as well as the fire bombing of London and Dresden.
This doesn't seem like indiscriminate booby traps into a civilian population at all to me, it was a shipment of pagers sent to Hezbollah operatives and it looks like quite a lot of care was taken to make sure the explosion is small. I don't think the number of uninvolved injured is big at all.
