Several of the victims were children. They went off in crowds. There was no way they could control that many devices with precision when they set them off all at once like that.
Here’s an example of how targeted the strike was, despite literally going off in a crowd - nobody hurt but the intended target, no harm whatsoever beyond two feet. Doesn’t even bruise an apple
That particular pager was in a bag, against a person, pointed away from anyone or anything else. Not to mention anything of the second attack, which used much larger charges and started fires and blew out windows across Lebanon.
And anyway, a single example isn’t going to assuage anyone who has been reading reports of women and children dying from the attack.
Yes, it’s pretty shocking how people have come out in support of an Iranian-funded terrorist group that has killed women, children, and a hundred Americans
The fathers of these dead children will simply have to live with the terrible consequences of their involvement with antisemitic terror (who are we kidding, they don’t care.)
They went off in crowds.
In every such case only the agent was harmed. You’re proving how targeted the attack was.
The fathers of these dead children will simply have to live with the terrible consequences of their involvement with antisemitic terror
So the children have to pay for their father’s crimes? This isn’t really a justification, and they don’t not care, now they have a real reason for retaliation—starting the cycle of hate all over again.
And you complain about pro Israel accounts getting banned. Literally justifying the murder of children should be banable no matter what county you’re supporting. Despicable behavior that everyone now sadly expects from rabid genocide supporters.
The Hamas media? Yes, though eventually it became ridiculous for them to assert that Hamas had raped and murdered German tourists at Nova because Israel had “made” them.
Arabs attack Israel because they hate the “Yahud.”
The beeb. Interviewees were both pro-Israeli and representatives of different Palastinian groups; what could not be distinguished between them was the playground line of blaming the other for their own behaviour.
Do you have a source stating that no bystanders were harmed?
They keep citing a tweet while others keep refuting what they’re saying with articles from BBC, NPR, and other news outlets. There’s no point in arguing with someone that can’t provide reputable sources for their claims.
Many, but not all, of the pagers and walkie-talkies that unexpectedly blew up over two days across Lebanon and in some neighboring countries were in the possession of Hezbollah fighters, functionaries or allies.
In this photo, an ambulance believed to be carrying wounded people drives down a street in a southern suburb of Beirut on September 18, 2024. The ambulance is white with a blue light on top that spans the width of the vehicle. Men stand on the sides of the street, which is lined with buildings.
Middle East crisis — explained
Another wave of blasts hits Lebanon, as Hezbollah reels from pager explosions
The group is designated as a terrorist organization by several nations, including the United States, but many of its members and supporters operate in civilian areas across Lebanon — and some of the explosions left innocent bystanders, including children, injured or dead.

At least it was somewhat targeted, unlike Gaza.

They’re also ignoring the literal terror being experienced by civilians who witnessed people’s legs and faces being blown off in public.
That’s terrorism.
Where else would you carry a pager? You have to feel it when it vibrates.
Well, I’m sorry to hear that Lebanon’s glazers just got several months of guaranteed work, I guess, but I’m otherwise not sure why this is relevant.
What reports?
Because you were claiming the explosions were too small to “bruise and apple”
Literally any reports on the subject
ok, and how is that refuted by the physical description of an ambulance?
What the fuck are you smoking
You posted a description of an ambulance, down to the color of its lights and the presence of people standing nearby looking on.
What was the relevance of that?
The mental gymnastics people will do to defend literal state sponsored terrorism.
And don’t waste your time, I actually know what those words mean.
Yes, it’s pretty shocking how people have come out in support of an Iranian-funded terrorist group that has killed women, children, and a hundred Americans
Oh look, it is time for round two: Strawman Boogaloo.
As opposed to the American-funded terrorist state that has killed women, children and a couple thousands of Palestinian civilians?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Try harder.

No, they don’t have to. But they will when their fathers deliberately put them in danger.
Again, he’ll just have to live with the tragic consequences (just kidding, we know he doesn’t care.)
And you complain about pro Israel accounts getting banned. Literally justifying the murder of children should be banable no matter what county you’re supporting. Despicable behavior that everyone now sadly expects from rabid genocide supporters.

In the days following the October attacks, the media was filled with spokespeople repeatedly delivering the line, “look what they made us do”.
The Hamas media? Yes, though eventually it became ridiculous for them to assert that Hamas had raped and murdered German tourists at Nova because Israel had “made” them.
Arabs attack Israel because they hate the “Yahud.”
The beeb. Interviewees were both pro-Israeli and representatives of different Palastinian groups; what could not be distinguished between them was the playground line of blaming the other for their own behaviour.
The kid’s blood is still on whoever triggered the devices hands. The child didn’t do anything.
Do you have a source stating that no bystanders were harmed? I can’t find anything making that claim.
They keep citing a tweet while others keep refuting what they’re saying with articles from BBC, NPR, and other news outlets. There’s no point in arguing with someone that can’t provide reputable sources for their claims.
*Edit: typo
But they have a video of a single incident!

First article I pulled up:
https://www.npr.org/2024/09/20/g-s1-23812/lebanon-israel-exploding-pagers-hezbollah-international-law
Not to mention that Hezbollah is an actual political party in Lebanon, not just a resistance group.
Ok, and what does this refute? I haven’t claimed there to be zero civilian casualties, but it’s currently fewer than one in one thousand.
Again, I’ve posted video. Why would I believe that could harm anyone but the bearer?
