Collective punishment always cowardly. But on a less serious not is this 1991 who uses pagers still?!

Apparently Hezbollah use them frequently as a low tech means of communication that is hard to intercept

 

[A1X]

Interesting Mossad is able to carry out such an inherently cunning and brilliant plan which would have involved a lot of intricate planning, detail and precision execution.

Especially given that the only way the Israeli government can apparently rescue a few dozen hostages in Gaza is by bombing it out of existence and killing everyone who lives there.

Hezbollah do as their phones had been hacked.

Hezbollah use pagers instead of mobiles because mobiles are not secure and can be hacked (if you have a national security agency who know how to do it).

Very clever. Seems rather indiscriminate as the owner could be anywhere when it’s activated.

Let's call it what it is...terrorism

 

[de la zouch]

An incredibly intelligent and highly targeted attack, BDS can now add pagers to their list of banned items

It's all a bit Kingsman

Nope
Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims. These now eunuch members of hezbollah fired over 100 rockets into Israel today. That makes them incredibly combatant

Just to be clear, I'm not saying any of it is good.

But, as an operation, the scale and intricacy just seem too far-fetched like something out of a film. I wouldn't have thought it possible to pull it off, particularly against an organisation that is paranoid about security.

 

[SeagullinExile]

FFS. Yet more IDF terror tactics.

No. It's terrorism

 

[pocketseagull]

Distributing 1000s of explosives and detonating them with no concern of who may be nearby is the opposite of targeted.

Yes, the 10 year old fired those rockets.

 

[de la zouch]

Yes, the 10 year old fired those rockets.

Ok

Indeed.

But I haven't seen you on the Russia invades Ukraine thread, where indiscriminate Russian attacks on Ukraine civilians are so commonplace, we don't even discuss the death of Ukrainian children any more. Why aren't you on that forum?

Did you know that in the Russian occupied territories, where Ukrainian children are not being blown apart, they are being abducted into Russia on the pretext of 'saving the children from Ukro-Nazis'? I think the total is some 20,000 so far.

I look forward to seeing your contributions on the Russia invades Ukraine thread.

 

[de la zouch]

No. It's terrorism

Well it’s not, by any recognised definition
