This is a terrorist attack by Israel on a massive scale. They blew up countless numbers of people driving, meaning that cars lost control, shopping around children, etc.

    So did they just make bombs disguised inside pagers and hope that their enemies bought them instead of like, normal people and doctors and shit or??

      I'm guessing they managed to insert themselves into the supply chain and installed the bombs that way. It does look like it was fairly indiscriminate though.

      It’s a terror attack. If they didn’t want civilian casualties they wouldn’t have taken this outrageous route.

        Was it indiscriminate, like random civilians blew up from this? Or was it targeted via military equipment etc, thats what I'm askin I think

          Yeah I get that, but I don’t think anyone can realistically expect military pagers would not be used by civilians. This whole attack imo is indiscriminate by definition because Israel had really no way of confirming where the pagers actually ended up and thus took a huge ‘risk’ by letting them explode without that knowledge.
