    Sounds like it was pretty well targeted then??!

    It says thousands of explosions and over 3500 injuries. But that seems pretty targeted. One would assume that most of those 3500 injured, must have been the people carrying the thousands of devices that exploded.

    If you have thousands of explosions, you have thousands of targets, and therefore thousands of injuries!

    Looking at the video on that link, seemingly, only the person carrying the device, was affected. The guy. Standing next to him, jua st walks around, after the explosion, seemingly unaffected.

    I am comparing this, to schools and entire cities being demolished, to get to Hamas. You cent tell me that there is a difference between their efforts in those two efforts

      ok so as long as it is very well targeted it is ok to explode thousands of bombs in grocery stores, synagogues, churches or streets of cities like Tel Aviv*, London, Berlin, Washington etc so long as it targets terrorist operatives (but likely traumatizes and terrorizes civilians)?

      So if Hezbollah launches a campaign to mail anthrax to leading Israeli military and civilian leaders, will you call that well-targeted as well?

      I mean if killing a majority of civilians is well targeted then you’re saying the idf was going after civilians which is a war crime so

      No.

      Just because someone pisses next to the toilet most of the time, doesn’t make it “well targeted” if for once he manages to get half of his piss inside the toilet once. And then you are still left with a huge puddle of piss.

      Or rather there was still an insane number of civillians murdered and injured.

      Also if anything had gone slightly different in the supply chain or Hezbollah had caught wind of it, instead it could have killed 0 Hezbollah and 100% Civillians.

      Maybe you heard of Russia sending letter bombs through Europes postal system. That is about the equivalent. It is completely reckless and has no ambitions to reliably target. It is a method of terror and that was the goal above all else.
