Holy category error batman.!
If you think these guys are using cheap walking talkies and not encrypted digital ones then you are a royal fucknut.
They didn't blow up civilians. These were small devices with small explosive charges. Enough to hurt the person holding / wearing them. Like good old skool M-80s and quarter sticks.
Anyways enjoy your day of eating paste. I'm got adult things to do.
Lol hardly. I can't stand Israel. Who am I rooting for? None of the above. I hope they all lose.
But I'm not such an intellectually dishonest fucktard that I need to redefine words or misrepresent those that I dislike. I have integrity.
You should try it.
"Walkie-talkies and other devices exploded at a funeral for Hezbollah leaders"
Yeah cause tons of civilians are using walkie-talkies and not cell phones./s
I'll say it again.... CIVILIANS USE CHEAPER AND MORE READILY AVAILABLE CALL PHONES.
These pagers were NOT being sold at stores, they were passed out to Hezbollah members.
This clearly falls in the category of military equipment.
You can hate Israel AND not be intellectually dishonest at the same time.
My homie over at Armored Republic made this one.
Give them a follow on IG. Based AF company.
We trade memes and they use a lot of mine too.

OP is trying to redefine "terrorism"
This was a precision military attack against people using pagers that were MORE EXPENSIVE THAN CELL PHONES that were ordered by and passed out by Hezbollah to its members. These weren't being sold at corner stores. Civilians have CHEAPER cell phones.
IF the target is civilian infrastructure or if the intent is to cause fear, suffering, or destruction among the civilian population, this would more likely be considered an act of terrorism. Terrorism is often defined as violent acts aimed at civilians, intending to create fear or achieve political or ideological goals outside of legitimate warfare.
Key factors that determine whether it is an act of terrorism or warfare include:
-
Target: If the infrastructure is purely civilian (e.g., water treatment plants, hospitals, power grids for residential areas), it may be classified as terrorism.
-
Intent: If the intent is to cause psychological terror or indiscriminate harm to civilians, rather than a direct military advantage, this could be labeled as terrorism.
-
Proportionality: Under international law, attacks should not cause excessive civilian harm relative to the anticipated military gain. If the attack disregards this balance, it may also be considered a war crime or act of terrorism.
Well from the video I've seen 95%+ of the people in the hospital were military age males. Also ZERO buildings were destroyed. You couldn't get that type of precision with ANY other type of attack.
Sabotaging enemy equipment can be considered a legitimate military action, it only crosses the line into terrorism if civilians or non-military targets are deliberately attacked or if the goal is to create fear among the civilian population. International law seeks to distinguish between lawful acts of war and acts of terrorism based on the nature of the target and the intent behind the action.
Also IDGAF about Israel. I hope both sides lose. But this was freaking genius and will go down in history as one of the greatest feats of irregular warfare in history.
Those camel fuckers won't trust another pager or cell phone for years. Their bodies are marked / disfigured so any countries that want to preclude them from entering their countries have a very easy job now too.

Look at you... On the Internet and making a dumb assertion before even thinking or doing a quick search.
Lol You're going to ignore the actual legal definition of terrorism and go with what one particular media outlet called the event?
All right I'm going to call you a terrorist. By your standard that makes you a terrorist now because definitions don't matter.
And nice try misrepresenting me. I've said more than once I hope both sides lose. But I'm not so fucking invested and self-delusional that I can't recognize when anyone, even people that I don't like or disagree with, does something cleverly.
Now fuck right off. You sound like a lib tard redefining words to fit your opinion and agenda. Sorry ass POS.
You have no earthly idea what you're talking about.
Do you even know what constitutes a war crime? There are seven main categories. This doesn't fit in any of them.
And for an act of terrorism it would need to specifically target civilians or civilian infrastructure. So once again you're just making up your own definitions.
Sucks to suck.
Terrifying doesn't equate to terrorism. Don't be fucking stupid.
Do you know how many more wounded civilians there would be if this was a standard missile attack and how many less targets it would have gotten?
In fact to wound or kill over 1500 targets that would take hundreds of missiles with hundreds upon hundreds of civilian casualties, including children.
This utterly decimated their network and wildly disrupted there terrorist capabilities and plans. This Will be looked back in history as one of the best precision military operations in the intelligence field.
Those camel fuckers won't trust another electronic device for years.
They received something similar to this https://amzn.to/3XMwS3l
Lol whatever dude.
Of course people are going to experience terror when a gun gets shot or something explodes. It's a part of ANY war.
The bottom line here is a bunch of people in a legitimate terrorist network were given devices that were only useful to people in terrorist networks (because everyone has cell phones) and those devices ended up being a trap / trick that hurt the people that were wearing them.
Alternatively they could have shot a bunch of missiles instead and legitimately killed tons of people in or around their intended targets that were not involved.
But again, fuck both sides.
You know both sides can be bad right?
The only people attempting to use pagers over there were terrorists and their networks.
Normal people would be using CHEAPER cell phones.
I'm happy to watch these two sides battle it out and pray that neither one of them wins. Fuck em both.
Honestly this was a brilliant strategic attack by one side to the other. For less than the cost of one missile they were able to disable over a thousand targets without destroying any homes, hospitals, or important infrastructure.
I'll take that over standard kinetic warfare any day.
You lost me at "you seem upset"
When you start wrong you're going to finish wrong.
