While I think this attack was likely illegal by international law and has serious moral issues, I doubt that it is important to Israel or many outside observers (at least in the west) whether everyone affected was actually a combattant. Working in a militant islamist and antisemitic organisation in any capacity will not net you any sympathy among non-islamists and especially among average westerners I would suppose.

It runs the risk of normalizing these kind of actions - one where everyday devices can be mass rigged and detonated by a state power, while being distributed in civilian spaces unknowingly. There are no good metrics to know who is near these devices and no way of isolating the devices from being sold or used in other spaces. You even run the risk of items like these being unintentionally distributed to other countries and places. It's a new form of terrorism, an ugly weaponization of everyday tech devices. Can you imagine such campaigns being waged on Americans or Ukrainains for example by a Russian or Chinese force? The targets, legitimate or not have very little bearing on the issues being raised here.

What? It has everything to do with that. Its the difference between a terror attack and a military strike. 
No wonder RE moderation is so shit
