I’m a US Army Combat veteran, and I’m going to talk about the recent series of explosions targeting Hezbollah walkie-talkies and pagers in Lebanon. Within 24 hours, Israel detonated over 2,800 pagers and thousands of walkie-talkies, killing 20 people and injuring nearly 450. International observers, including countries that are not involved in the conflict, have warned that the simultaneous detonation of such devices may constitute a war crime.

However, I disagree with this assessment. The explosions targeted military communication devices, which are not typically used by civilians. The pagers, in particular, are only capable of receiving messages, not transmitting them, making them a valuable tool for military forces trying to maintain stealth. The walkie-talkies, while more widely used, are still a niche object with limited practical use outside of military or law enforcement contexts.

The key question is whether the actions of the Israeli military were indiscriminate or disproportionate, causing harm to civilians. If, for example, they had installed explosives in popular consumer devices like iPhones or Android phones, that would be a different story. But the devices targeted were specifically designed for military use, making it unlikely that civilians were harmed in significant numbers.

It’s also worth noting that the Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon, who was injured in the attack, was likely a recipient of these pagers, leading one to question why he was on speed dial with a terror group like Hezbollah. This raises questions about the Iran’s involvement in the conflict and the nature of their relationship with Hezbollah.
