If they're on active duty, they're legitimate military targets. If they're on inactive duty, they're considered civilians.

But if they are active duty and have military comms, it's just called an "attack", not a "terror attack", even if the attackers are otherwise terrorists.

And your evidence that Israel only targetted active duty Hezbollah combattants?

You know you can just not type right? These thoughts that just stream into your head, they don't need to be shared. You can also read sources and understand that "military comms" can't accurately be targeted by this attack because of the very nature of radio. Nobody is logging into a badguy frequency and being targeted and identified. Thats not how any of this could possibly work.

You should take your own advice

Israel put bombs in pagers and radios and secretly sold them to Hezbollah. The only people who therefore would have had them were people Hezbollah gave them to to coordinate with. You can't really get more targeted than that. There's not some magic Jewish radio waves blowing up civilian radios lol.

Except that these pagers were distributed to more than just hezbollah. AUB (American university of Beirut) medical workers had them too, for example.

So Israel planted explosives in known communication devices, that could easily be tracked or also had pinpoint tracking technology included with the explosive, then deliberately waited until the intended targets could cause collateral damage to unarmed civilians to set them off? And you argue this is different from terrorism in what way?

According to you. The cowards responsible haven't admitted anything.

But in reality they killed kids and many other innocent people as is usual for these genocidal terrorists.
