Just a few months ago, Hezbollah exploded a rocket in soccer field with children playing, killing 12 children. Doesn't get much more "exploding devices in public spaces" than that. https://www.timesofisrael.com/11-killed-mostly-children-doze...
Very debatable. The local population seem to be under the impression that it was an iron dome missile that fell on the sports ground. Partly because they claim it is a regular occurance (malfunctioning dome missiles and detritus falling in the area). Ask yourself, why would the Druze population be a target? It's almost unthinkable that Hezbollah deliberately targeted those civilians.
The local population are under no such impression.

How does bombing civilians stop rockets already launched? Most likely the person launching is already out of the area.
The whole thing of Hamas is embedding itself and its infrastructure in the civilian areas. If civilians are requested to evacuate, informed about the fact their houses are used by Hamas and the rocket launchers, rocket factories, tunnels and electric infrastructure to support all of that is going to be targeted, then perhaps it is not exactly fair to use words “bombing civilians” as a matter or fact?
Israel has killed tens of thousands of children already. Not sure why you're trying to make excuses for them.

I assume by "many countries" you mean the US and its allies? Is that it then? Your definition of "terrorist" is whoever the West designates a terrorist? Ergo Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.
[There are a few]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_designated_terrorist_g... ) Surprisingly there are several Arab countries, including the [Gulf Cooperation Council]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Cooperation_Council ), and the UAE.
Not especially surprising, the GCC (of which the UAE is a member state) are Sunni petro-states that have been aligned with the US since the 50s. Hezbollah is a Shiite group who are patronized by Iran, who are the chief geopolitical rival of GCC countries and compete with them to sell fossil fuels on the international market.

Hamas: European Union,[158][200] Argentina,[201][202] Australia,[17] Canada,[8] Israel,[203] Japan,[81][18] New Zealand,[162] Paraguay,[84] United Kingdom,[204] United States,[16] Organization of American States[205] Yep, all western countries/entities, as expected.
You've misread the comments above. The above comments are all referencing Hezbollah, not Hamas.
Still applies; the only outlier in the Hezbollah entry is Malaysia, who most likely are doing so on sectarian lines or to follow the KSA's lead.

Considering Hezbollah is a designated terrorist organisation in many countries, this probably should be considered an anti-terrorist operation. The targets are enemy combatants. Also notably, it clearly did not intentionally target civilians, although there may be civilian casualties which is uncharacteristic of a terrorist attack.

> uninvolved civilian medical doctor buying a booby-trapped pager secondhand shouldn't be at significant risk Pretty sure any doctor (or anyone else) owning one of those pager wouldn’t want to keep it, even if configured safely.

They're a militia. Here is a timeline of major Hezbollah terrorist activities. Left out, of course, is the constant barrage of missiles rained down on northern Israel by Hezbollah. I copy-pasta'd this from another source for conv…

And very possibly in violation of the Geneva Convention's prohibition of "indiscriminate" attacks: Rule 12. Indiscriminate attacks are those: (a) which are not directed at a specific military objective; (b) which employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective; or (c) which employ a method or means of combat the effects of which cannot be limited as required by internation…
Not like they ever really cared for Geneva Conventions and such.
would the Geneva convention prefer smart bombs? could the Geneva convention please tell the terrorists to stop hiding in their family and community?
