The United Nations condemned the recent detonation by Israel of hand-held devices by Hezbollah members in Lebanon, stating that the attack violated international law and could be considered a war crime.
"International humanitarian law prohibits the use of booby-trap devices disguised as harmless portable objects," said Volker Turk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, during a statement to the Security Council. He added, "It is a war crime to commit acts of violence aimed at spreading terror among civilians."
