    I did, it’s been in every comment of mine and in the rest of the sentence after the bit you cherrypicked.

    I’m left with the conclusion what Israel did falls within the bounds of a legitimate military operation.

    Once we hit this point, further discussion was likely pointless anyhow. Please let’s end this discussion here. Thank you!

        It was in a batch specifically meant for Hezbollah operatives.

        Yes, I understand that. And those Hezbollah operatives can lose their pagers, have them stolen, or they themselves can move randomly through populated areas with the hidden bomb strapped to their hip. You don’t think any of these “operatives” do anything but sit all day in a cartoon-style bad guy lair surrounded by other bad guys? They never go to buy groceries, or stop at a hospital or school, or have their devices stolen or lost in some random location? As I have said repeatedly, these devices were deployed in a manner that has absolutely no mechanism by which to control where they actually are and who else is in proximity to them when detonated.

        Either we are just incapable of communicating effectively with each other, or you are being intentionally obtuse.

        Again I say good day to you.
