Are the attacks on Hezbollah a breach of international law? | The News Agents

The attacks on Hezbollah operatives were as audacious as they were incredible. Yesterday, targeting four thousand potential terrorists remotely through their pagers. And further attacks today using handheld radios.

But when the dust has settled, how will the world view this move? Was it justifiable? Or a breach of international law? What are the ethics of targeting so large a group? And was it a breach of Lebanese sovereignty?

Jon and Emily talk to former Newsnight defence editor Mark Urban, and Professor of International Law, Philippe Sands.
