    We can call it state terror, but an attack of this scale is an outright attack by Israel on Lebanon, which is arguably worse. Terror attacks target indiscriminately, this was intended for combatants (yes, civilians died, that’s why it’s worse).

    Think about pearl harbor vs 9/11. Pearl harbor was a state attack by Japan on the U.S. using horrific means against a naval base. 9/11 targeted the planes and buildings, regardless of who was in them



  • I don’t think the thousands of pagers built this way really count as “improvised.”

    That being said, it makes me wonder if this went in any way according to plan - 8 deaths and 2750 injuries is a large scale attack, don’t get me wrong. But they’ve now announced Mossad has compromised the supplier of the pager, which they will undoubtedly audit, and instill new policies on device security. I wouldn’t be surprised if that means they discover a lot more compromised electronics, allowing Hezbollah to pinpoint the compromise. Because 2750 survived, you now have 2750 people very interested in finding it.

    In all, for 8 deaths, they’ve made their own work harder.

    That being said 2750 injuries could be a large enough number to scare members out of the org.
