Yep, that wasn't a lethal grenade. Not terribly certain which type because the video overlay obscures it most of the time. The pin was also not removed. If he was about to throw it, the pin would have been pulled and he would be stuck holding the spoon down until he could secure it. Not sure of his intentions with his weird action, but too assume he was going to throw the grenade is questionable.
Reporter on audio called it a “stun grenade” (final two words of the TT video).
I didn't make that out in the video, but stun grenades are very limited in effectiveness outdoors. You have to be practically on top of a stun grenade for it to do anything without reinforcing waves reflected within a enclosed space which effectively amplifies the explosion. Either way, I would hardly call that a war crime. It would be effectively a large firecracker with no intent of maiming or killing.
from a quick image search,
it looks like a Tear Gas Grenade.
