    Many of the casualties were not Hezbollah fighters but members of the group’s extensive civilian operations

    They went to Hezbollah, as the person you are disagreeing with said.

      They said “Seems unlikely [that pagers would be in the hands of doctors] considering only pagers belonging to Hezbollah had the explosives added.”

      That article directly refutes that. It is heavily implied when you’re all saying “Hezbollah” you’re talking about militants. Again, it is unreasonable to suggest that workers, including doctors and nurses, that are part of the civilian arm of Hezbollah’s de facto government are fair targets in either morality or intentional law.

        I understood that as referring to doctors unaffiliated with Hezbollah, as it has been made pretty clear that Hezbollah doctors were targets of the attack.

        No it isn’t. Maybe that’s how you interpreted it, but as I said in another comment it is not just Hezbollah soldiers that were targeted.

        Again, it is unreasonable to suggest that workers, including doctors and nurses, that are part of the civilian arm of Hezbollah’s de facto government are fair targets in either morality or international law.

        No one has suggested that in this comment chain.
