I think you overestimate the number of Lebanese that would steal pagers from Hezbollah.

As I said, the results just prove they made a good call (no pun intended) and with the large sample size luck just can't be a factor

All of your problems are just one and the same: statistical probability of civilian casualties. And the nice thing with discussing the ethics of the choice to do it here is that we have the exact results. Around 2750 Hezbros hit with around 10 civilian deaths.

When they destroyed ISIS in Mosul 8 years ago, they turned that dial up all the way to a 1-on-1 ratio. 10.000 innocents for 10.000 Isibro's.

When they destroyed them in Raqqa, they went even higher, to around 1.5.

And if it makes you happy to call it 'terrorism' when you see civilian casualties, go ahead.

Yeah, after Hezbollah attacked them they're back. Good thing the Lebanese have Hezbollah to defend them from this cycle

Do you think it'd be more humane if they used larger explosives?

It was created and grew popular to make Israel withdraw, but today it mainly exists to make sure Iran's interests in Lebanon are 'defended'.

You're thinking of a powerbottom, but that's a totally different concept

Then it'd take less effort from the rest of us

Well, the nazis weren't really big on monarchism either
