I am starting a splinter group because I found the rules of "Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion" to be somewhat restrictive.

Sorry - I am genuinely asking, because in the media here (Central Europe), they don't mention that probably the majority of all injuries were in fact involved with Hezbollah. What the mainstream reader will assume, and honestly also myself, is that the few killed were the "bad guys" and that the rest were civilians. At least this is what we are used to hear in the news, when Israel try to take out specific targets. I am just trying to clarify, because the news here make it seem like these injuries are made to civilians who were not related or involved. At least they make no effort to point out that most of them probably are active key persons in what many have listed as a terrorist organization
The contradicting information over here is that they do not mention how many pagers have exploded. They only say that hundreds of pagers exploded. That would suggest that it is less than 1000 and thereby a lot more collateral injuries than intended.
There are also news that two of the dead are medical staff. I know that the medical personel in many countries (including the NHS in UK! ) use pagers. Them being medic personel does not exclude the chance of them being involved in Hezbollah, but i feel that there is a lot of contradiction in this story
