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.
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.
again, I have my doubts that these attacks are only hitting Hezbollah. Israel doesn't care about killing civilians.
Indications are this is a supply chain attack.
So while there are collateral victims, the device bearers are probably all connected to the organization.
