  One of the deaths was a kid

    How many injuries, I wonder.

    It is extremely cool that we continue to take “Everyone wounded by these pagers was Hezbollah” at face value once again.

    This, from the same organization that bombed hospitals, schools, and refugee camps while insisting every one of them was a Hamas command center.

  Thousands of peoples were wounded. And by the nature of a pager you do wear them when out and about and not only at the HQ

    That’s still a lot more targeted than the air strike example.

    There’s thousands of Hezbollah militants as well. We don’t know yet exactly how targeted the attack was.

    Regardless “only” 9 people died so far. Thousands were wounded, but that’s much better than land mines would’ve been. This attack was extraordinarily targeted, and despite there being civilians hurt, they’re likely to be less hurt than the militants and unlikely to be among the dead. Every civilian death is a tragedy, but Hezbollah and Israel are in an armed conflict. Some civilian deaths are unavoidable. I much prefer Israel do this than the indiscriminate bombing on Gaza.
