    Hezbollah is a political party with 18 parliamentary seats and thousands of public service workers on their payroll.

    Saying these were “fighters” is akin to bombing an UNRWA center and claiming you killed 31 Hamas Terrorists.

      so then why did they have pagers? I thought the pagers were specifically for millitant orders, or is the whole political party communicating in private via one way pagers?

      i feel like if this were public service, this would be in confidence, in a building for example, rather than like this.

        so then why did they have pagers?

        To receive messages through an underdeveloped telecommunications infrastructure.

        Well, if you feel that way, I guess the mass murder was fine.

          It’s underdeveloped because a terrorist organization fought a war to control the telecommunications system so they could leverage it more effectively for more terrorism.
