This is one detail I'd like to know about, because 2800+ people sounds like a lot of civiilians were impacted. “Even if the attacks seem to have been targeted, they had heavy, indiscriminate collateral damages among civilians, including children among the victims,†EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said in a statement Wednesday Its described as collateral damage, but I wonder if all pagers truly only went to Hezbollah members.
Assuming its for your job, but what is the reasoning for using them over an old phone? |
Probably because he goes to places without cell phone coverage. Pagers work on radio frequencies.
It was a shipment that went to Hezbollah, yet they are more than just the fighters in the South. And it wouldn't surprise me if people gave these pagers to family and friends to use as well. Or left them lying around. 2 kids were killed as well, no news on who among the wounded. And 14 of them exploded in Syria.
They would have been exploding anywhere, on busses, shopping malls, busy streets. Unintended (or was it) death and mutilation is guaranteed. It's a big scale terrorist attack.
