Setting off hundreds or thousands of explosions in a civilian area, particularly when you don't know what the collateral damage is is an evil act and should be condemned as such.
It's terrorism when Hamas sets off random explosions in civilian areas, it's terrorism when other organizations (to include a certain country) do it, too.
The sheer number and random placement of the bombs - and these are literally just bombs - almost insures that a large number of civilians will be harmed.
But Israel gets a free pass on all collateral damage. Because muh chosen.
Yup, hundreds of civilians have been reportedly injured.
It's crazy looking at some of the comments on normie channels defending and justifying the injuries because of "muh Hezbollah".
I asked a few of those same people if they would be cheering on the attacks if some of their family members were part of the civilians injured? And just had silence as a response.
From a tactical perspective this is absolutely wrong.
These attacks are wildly more precise than any weapon in our arsenal, or any theoretical weapon in our arsenal, because the targets are self-selecting.
This isn't "random explosions". These are effectively exploding a person's wallet.
The closest weapon we have to this is a specially designed inert missile that, rather than exploding, has spinning blades push from the casing. It is designed to take out single vehicles. It still kills everyone inside the car. I've now personally watched two videos of innocent civilians being completely unharmed from exploding peripherals that are not even 5 feet away. A sniper's bullet is more dangerous than this, because of just how far a .300 WinMag can over-penetrate.
More than random explosions, this is closer to deploying a platoon of ninja assassins.
Except since the cyber-warfare attack is utilizing the batteries, rather than a proper explosive, almost no one seems to have been killed in these attacks, only maiming.
Your last sentence is incorrect. If the pagers were spontaneously combusting then using a battery as a pyrotechnic device would be more credible, but if you've watched any of the videos it's clear that they're using some kind of high explosive.
I'm not going to completely dismiss the high explosives argument, but the level of masterful infiltration it would take to get into a communication device manufacturing process, to insert high explosives secretly, have none be discovered FOR YEARS, even by accident, and have it only sent to members of Hezbollah is so amazing it's fucking preposterous that anyone could pull it off.
It would be one of the greatest military supply chain attacks in human history, and frankly, I just don't think that the Israelis could possibly be that good. Frankly, it would mean that the Mossad has full knowledge of the entire logistical and personelle structure of Mossad. Which is absurd for an organization that has been fighting the Mossad and the CIA for decades.
It's on the same level of "The world trade center was detonated by thermite that was secretly installed on every pillar, of every floor, of both WTC 1 & 2 by the entirety of the NYPD and NYFD over the course of 10 years". It's so fucking difficult to keep that secret you'd be better of doing literally anything else and spending 1/1000th the money.
I find it far more likely that the cyber-warfare specialists figured out a way to force the lithium batteries to over-heat and explode by transmitting specific signals to these pagers and walkie-talkies. Hezbollah probably thought that these devices were so low tech, that it couldn't happen to them, but even low-tech stuff can be hacked (like how payphones used to be hacked by whistling).
Considering how often, or not often, these devices would be changed out or maintained, I would expect that if this were a bombing campaign, we'd be looking at thousands of exploding pagers in the local Lebanese dump. And then an entire radio shack blowing up in a violent explosion for the walkie-talkies. The pagers would be swapped out relatively quickly, but then the walkie-talkies wouldn't be.
Hell, that hypothesis would be closer to the spiked ammunition sabotage programs that most militaries try to use, but they typically can't even accomplish that at the weapon's factories. They have to plant pre-spiked ammunition onto battlefields and hope that enemy pick-ups scavenge it. Most militaries have no capacity to infiltrate an enemy supply chain to the extent the bombing hypothesis would require. It seems like way to difficult of a feat.
Oh look, Gizortnik arrives to defend the bad behavior of Jewish people once again. What a surprise. Who could have possibly predicted this unexpected turn in the discourse?
The Israeli military and "the jewish people" are not the same thing.
Cry about the fact that this is a good tactic to minimize collateral damage. Then recognize that it will be further used in future wars, and adapt to it.
Indications are this is a supply chain attack.
So while there are collateral victims, the device bearers are probably all connected to the organization.

you don't get to hide among civilians and then complain about civilian casualties.
I'm not a terrorist hiding among civilians and I'm complaining about yet another instance of indiscriminate bombing in civilian areas.
You don't get to set off bombs in civilian areas, ESPECIALLY when you don't know where they are, and claim to be the good guy.
Hezbollah blows up civilian areas and are terrorists.
Israel blows up civilian areas and are _____.
