Hezbollah is an international terrorist organization, not protected by treaties.

The pagers were purchased by Hezbollah and distributed to Hezbollah members.

The explosive charge was so small it couldn't generate a shrapnel field beyond 1-2 feet, making civilian casualties almost non-existent. The people injured were Hezbollah members wearing or holding their pagers (example: the Iranian ambassador).
