Whether it’s Hezbollah or the Israelis, targeting civilians is a war crime

JAMES McGRATH (Irish Examiner letters, August 22) seems to have read my recent letter too quickly to follow what I was saying (Irish Examiner, August 15).

If he returns to it, he will see that I forcefully condemned the Hezbollah rocket attacks into civilian districts in northern Israel.

As I have already stated, the deliberate targeting of civilians by anybody is a war crime and utterly reprehensible.
