Lebanon Explosions | Weaponizing civilian objects: Antonio Guterres weighs in

Hand-held radios used by Lebanese armed group Hezbollah detonated across Lebanon's south, in Beirut suburbs further stoking tensions with Israel a day after similar explosions by the group's pagers. Lebanon's health ministry said 14 people had been killed and 450 injured, while the death toll from Tuesday's explosions rose to 12, including two children, with nearly 3 000 injured. Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that pager blasts targeting militant group Hezbollah indicate "a serious risk of a dramatic escalation in Lebanon and everything must be done to avoid that escalation."

This UN secretary should resign.
He cannot anymore differentiate between civilian and terrorists used items.

Who is weaponizing civilian objects, the terrorists that use them plan and commit atrocities on civilian populations?

When a civilian object is being used by a military organisation, it is no longer a civilian object.
