Every war is extra-judicial. It's not the own you think it is. Even if they wanted to do it through the justice system, they couldn't as Israel doesn't have jurisdiction over Lebanon. That's why wars happen.

People set such a ridiculous high bar for Israel that it would prevent any war if any other country would be held to that standard.

> deployment of weapons via subterfuge is terrorism

Yeah, sure, lying to terrorists is even worse terrorism.

No “high bar” is being set - the precedent for all nations to use the international legal system is there.

Not as many nations massacre civilians and/or feel compelled to murder children at massive scales in their self-defense, however.

Speaking of standards.

“Lying to terrorists” is just weasel-words for committing massive violations of Common Article 3; GC I Art. 12 & 18; GC III Art. 13; GC IV Arts. 27, 32 & 51; AP I Arts. 48, 51(2–5), 57 & 54; CCW Amended Protocol II Art. 7(2) of the Geneva Conventions.
