Thousands of civilians injured... very few Hezbollah dead. Makes Israel look like a terrorist organization, IMHO.

- flyinglizard 2y agoWhy would civilians have in their possession tactical communication devices of a military organization?
- supermatt 2y agoCivilians are shown to be in proximity of these devices when they are exploding. It appears that these devices were all triggered simultaneously, rather than waiting for individual targets to be isolated.

- fwip 2y agoOne reason is that Hezbollah is not a purely military organization, and has political, medical and educational arms. Another is that some of the reported casualties are the family of Hezbollah members.
- Zironic 2y agoHezbollah like most other similar organisations is not a primarily military organisation even though they are a paramilitary one. The vast majority of the members of Hezbollah have non-military roles of various kinds.

- empath75 2y agoYou can't take Lebanon's report on who the injured were at face value. I've not doubt that innocent people were injured by this, but it's not _thousands_ of innocent people.
- tromp 2y agoIsrael's bombing of Gaza made them look like a terrorist organization. I believe the majority of deaths and a significant fraction of injured in this attack are in fact Hezbollah members.

- ineedasername 2y agoThere has been no statement or indication that the thousands of people injured were comprised in any significant proportion of civilians. Given that these pagers were purchased by Hezbollah directly and videos of their explosions show a minimal blast radius it is premature and, depending on motives, propagandistic to claim that the thousands of people injured were civilians.
- ineedasername 2y agoThere has been no statement or indication that the thousands of people injured were comprised in any significant proportion of civilians. Given that these pagers-- reportedly 5000 of them-- were purchased by Hezbollah directly and videos of their explosions show a minimal blast radius it is premature and, depending on motives, propagandistic to claim that the thousands of people injured were civilians.
- dralley 2y ago>Thousands of civilians You have absolutely nothing on which to base the claim that these were civilians and not Hezbollah members.
- raxxorraxor 2y agoI doubt you would have been happy either way, but I think your statements about the injuries is also unsubstantiated.
