Summary
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Israel has “defeated Hezbollah” following a series of operations, including the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
The campaign included a September attack on Hezbollah communication devices, where thousands of pagers exploded in Beirut, killing 39 and injuring over 3,400.
Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Netanyahu personally approved the pager attack despite internal opposition.
Israel now hopes an international coalition encourage Lebanon to normalize relations with Israel.
It was indiscriminate and it was mass terrorism.

Just because Israel routinely violates international humanitarian law and targets civilians doesn’t make this any less of a violation of international humanitarian law and a war crime
Why would Hezbollah distribute one way pagers to non-members? These pagers weren’t for sale on the open market. Hezbollah bought them for their members only.
Hezbollah actually had a good idea to use these pagers instead of cell phones. Cell phones can be tracked, these pagers can’t be tracked. Unfortunately for Hezbollah, the IDF has infiltrated the Hezbollah’s communications.
Not all of Hezbollah are combatants, things are not that simple. Not all of Hezbollah are militants, there are many social workers and politicians. Such as members of the Lebanese Parliament and Medical Workers in Hospitals. And even if they were, there are zero guarantees that all the pagers ended up in the hands of Hezbollah members. And even if that was the case, detonating them in public spaces is still a violation of international humanitarian law. By it’s nature this was a massive terrorism attack

Like u/whyflip said it wasn’t a terrorist attack.
How to know someone is a racist piece of shit 🙂
How to know someone is a Terrorist.
I bet you think that attack on the Israeli military base was a terrorist attack right?
I’m not the person you are replying to, but yes, an attack on an Israeli base is a legitimate attack, not a ‘terrorist attack’.
Thank you. I’m not sure if you recall, but in the news (not sure which site but I’m assuming some Israeli one) they portrayed an attack on some Israeli base as “murdering teenagers”.
Those “teenagers” were 18 and were enlisted to the IDF. Those were soliders killed, not just some random teenagers off the street.
Heh. Typical. Technically correct, but used in a way meant to be wildly misleading. Something similar is done regarding gun crime victims. One misleading stat involves “children” who are victims of gun violence. Some of these ‘victims’ are gang members in their late teens or early twenties.
Israel is attacked so much by terrorists it is difficult to know which one you are referring to.
Can you clarify which sudden and deliberate attack on a fellow allies military installation you mean?
“Attacked all the time” yeah I bet theirs people dying left and right in Israel right? People struggling to survive? No, that’s the victims of Israels attacks.
:Points to the October 2023 attack:
:Points to 70+ years of oppression:
What an easily manipulated little fool. Fascists are just reaping and reaping what they’ve sown. Reducing words to simple labels for “us” vs. “them” without looking at how those actions compare and contrast.
By definition I’m the good guy, by definition you’re the bad guy, anything else is too hard on my feeble brain.
It’s not your fault, you might forget to breathe if you try to apply that thing.
So after picking through your word salad, I take it you’ve lost track of which terrorist attack on Israel you are referring to then?
