This is absolutely insane and should make anyone consider how the hyper-connected nature of our technology can open up dangers never considered. Like your phone blowing up in your pocket in a coordinated cyber-attack.#Israel #Hezbollah #Warhttps://ars... -

But I don’t really see any difference from a bomb strike in terms of collateral. I don’t see why geographical spread matters. What matters is how it affects others.
It all depends on how much and how badly collateral were hit. And that we don’t know yet.

If Iran were to do that it would not be indiscriminate.
Would it be OK (from a war tactic POV, forgetting for a moment I’m no fan of Iran)? I honestly haven’t yet decided.
It would depend in part on how badly bystanders are injured, though the attack would have elements of terrorism.
If the US had a button that would have done the same to Al Qaeda commanders, would they press it?

Like your phone blowing up in your pocket in a coordinated cyber-attack.#Israel #Hezbollah #Warhttps://ars...@chris @britt I disagree. The pagers were for and carried by Hezbollah. I think it’s a pretty safe bet that the majority of the worst injuries would be against those carrying the device, Hezbollah. So it’s not correct to say ‘indiscriminate’. Though there will have been collateral too. What the final split looks like remains to be seen (assuming Hezbollah reports truthfully, which I honestly don’t know).
