It’s an indiscriminate attack on thousands of people. Say someone did that to Iphones in the US. What would the reaction be?
@Mott-The-Hoople saidSo you support terrorism against terrorists?

Not the best way forward.
-Removed-Its the language terrorists understand and respect. People who follow no rules like terrorists, laugh are those who do. They aint laughing now. Its like Hamas in Gaza. They are hiding behind children and placing weapons in mosques and hospitals. It would be stupid for the Jews to follow the Geneva convention. There are no rules in a war with terrorists.
@shavixmir saidTo be fair: It was an attack on a specific type of pager known to be mainly used by Hezbollah (as far as news go). So it is different from attacking iphones.

The consequence will mainly be that Hezbollah will chnage their communication system. There seems to be no analogous weakness in Hmas communication.
And yes there will be the hot-heads in Hzbollah who will at least call for bolder action.
And yes innocents have been hit.
-Removed-Of course. But, not really though. I read from the news reports that there were only about 6 Hezbollah operatives killed, and there are about 20,000 of these terrorists. I think Mossad or whoever it is organized this pager atttack should do better. I mean, 6 ??? Only 6??? Come on .. use some real explosives in those pagers.
@Ponderable saidNews reports indicate that an 8 yr-old girl was among the casualties.

@moonbus saidChildren are going to be casualities, but the difference is that Israel does not target children. Hezbollah and Hamas does that, including raping and torturing them. Earlier this year, July I think, Hezbollah targeted a school in the Golan Heights and killed 12 school children. Its a big difference.

@Rajk999 saidDetonating thousands of pagers remotely is a bit like burying land mines, in that one does not know who will be killed or maimed by them. It's an indiscriminate weapon.

@moonbus saidYeah ? Big deal. Do you think Hezbollah give a rats behind who is killed when they fire the thousands of rockets at Israeli civilians? Bombs are also an indiscriminate weapon. Bombing a school and killing 12 school kids is wilfully targeting children.
