If you launch missiles at an enemy barracks, and civilians delivering bread to the barracks or riding by on bicycles are killed, it’s not terrorism.
The civilians killed in the remote attacks in Lebanon were not targets. They died because they were unfortunately very near to the people who were legitimate targets. If the explosions killed as many civilians as Hezbollah soldiers, there would be a case that the attacks were indiscriminate. But I’d wager 95+ per cent of the people killed or injured were Hezbollah.
