    Who held the pagers at the time they blew up? I used to love to play with my dad’s pager as a kid.

    Targeting using an electronic device is sigint. These people have families, and the Israeli terrorists murdered children with this attack. Did you read the article?

      Overwhelmingly, it was military-aged men based on reports, photos and videos. This was a targeted attack on terrorists. Murder requires intent. Do you really think the intent was to murder kids by blowing up pagers purchased by and for internal Hezbollah use? You cannot seriously believe that. If kids died due to this it was 1) wholly unintentional and 2) while tragic, still a byproduct of legal warfare, not terrorism.

      Words have clearly defined meanings. You can’t just make up your own to suit your agenda.

        A war crime is a war crime. An act of terrorism is intentional. Using SigInt to target is, by definition, going to lead to war crimes.

        This was a terrorist act that was used to murder children, and must be condemned with sanctions.

        This is why targeting shouldn’t be done by SigInt, directed by AI or otherwise.

          You are using terms you don’t understand. These are passive devices. They don’t provide any signals intelligence, which is why Hezbollah chose them in the first place.

          Using SigInt to target is, by definition, going to lead to war crimes.

          You are still making up definitions. It’s getting tiring.
