The thing about terrorists, like other unethical criminal organisations, is that they use children in their operations. They do this because they know it will look bad when law enforcement takes action.

The crime is using children, ie anyone under 18, for criminal enterprises.

But then you can't expect terrorists to care.

Deny the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Why don't you read the article, where they state the operation has been labelled a war crime, or read the link u/eureka@aussie.zone provided.

What the Israelis are doing to Palestinians is not right. They're persecuting and killing to terrorise and dominate; Israel can choose a different path, they should choose a different path for their own conscience.

The other side (Palestinians, Iranians, Lebanese, etc) doesn't matter its not a competition about who is the bigger terrorist. If Israel say they're alligned with liberal western values then they have to live alongside those. Try reading some John Stuart Mill and comparing his (and probably his partners) words to Israeli actions. Life makes hypocrites of us all, but at every point we can choose to live by better principles. But they don't.

The United Nations officially published this article, in which their experts consider the pager attacks to be war crimes. Interestingly, in the final paragraphs, they characterise the reckless booby-trap method as terroristic to civilians.
