The explosions were in fact strong enough that innocent people, including children, died https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Lebanon_electronic_device...




That doesn't necessarily mean the blast radius was large. The 9 year old was killed while holding the pager.

> Fatima was in the kitchen on Tuesday when a pager on the table began to beep, her aunt said. She picked up the device to bring it to her father and was holding it when it exploded, mangling her face and leaving the room covered in blood, she said.

Oh, I didn't know this. Innocent people were still killed and maimed by shrapnel. The other children aged 11 was killed when his father's pager detonated

hmm maybe you don't know there's "intentional homicide" and "unintentional homicide", and those two differ extremely in court?

seems like you like being sarcastic, but don't know basic stuff even 15 year olds know


The comment I was answering above above was saying that explosions were so weak that people inches away were unarmed. The doctors in Lebanon would probably dissent
