    I feel like people are missing one of the more heinous aspects of this, which is that it injured thousands of people and only managed to kill ~10 of their targets. The outcome of this attack is going to be general terror and potentially hundreds of life altering injuries but very little military advantage.

      The advantage is huge. 1000s of militants are now seriously injured and are no longer battle ready. Many will never be again. Massive success for Israel, and one of the most precision strikes ever used. Now there will be fear from any communication devise exploding, there will be 1000s of man hours wasted taking other stuff apart to check it, and morale will be down as well.

        Now westerners will worry when lining up for concerts or flights and the increased security expenditure will impact their economy

        I guess you support ISIS terror attacks as a brilliant play too?

        How did the compromised pagers not trigger warnings at airport X-rays? I guess lithium batteries and C4 look similar?

      How did something that only killed 10 targets injure thousands, especially when you are considering explosives.

      I don’t think I could injure 1000s of civilians with only 10 targets killed with an explosive hidden on their person if I tried.

      They injured thousands of their targets, killed a few, and only got very little collateral damage

      Nasrallah would shit down his prophet’s throat to get this kind of outcome
