Israel detonated the bombs indiscriminately in homes and marketplaces and on crowded streets. Israel says the attack targeted Hezbollah, but couldn't control who the electronics were distributed to. The attacks wounded and disfigured over 3,000 people, including children. Many were blinded, and some lost their hands. At least 2 children were killed - 9-year-old Fatima Jaafar Abdullah and 11-year-old Bilal Kanj. UN experts say the attack was a war crime.
