To be fair, the huge outrage this has generated seems in large part an effect of the tiny UN observer force, which, by confirming and vouching for it, gained it a much huger audience.
In re "all bombings being war crimes" -- w/ which I heartily concur -- I highly, highly recommend Sven Lindqvist's book _A History of Bombing_. It's a pleasure and a bombardment of revelations. As well as formally exciting: it's written in little numbered pieces which can be read in different orders. And that totally works.
