Amnesty International has called for an “international investigation” to hold perpetrators of “mass explosions targeting electronic devices across Lebanon and Syria” accountable.

According to a statement by Amnesty, the simultaneous attacks injured more than 2,931 people and killed at least 37, including at least four civilians.

“Should Israel be determined to be responsible, then these attacks took place in the context of an ongoing armed conflict,” it asserted.

Highlighting that those who planned the attacks could not verify who would be harmed at the time, Amnesty concluded: “Therefore, the attacks were carried out indiscriminately, would be unlawful under international humanitarian law and should be investigated as war crimes.”

“The mass explosions across Lebanon and Syria in recent days bear the hallmarks of a sinister dystopian nightmare,” said Aya Majzoub, Amnesty International’s deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa.

Amnesty International spoke to eight witnesses, the Lebanese health minister, two medical doctors, two psychologists and a security source.
