Yeah I'd argue it was the most precisely targeted attack possible on such a scale.

But of course - since it's Israel people use every angle possible to criticise it.

Maybe, and then the conclusion is don't attack anything on such a scale.

Do you think Hezbollah thought something like this could happen when they decided to attack Israel?

You know what's even more precise? A bullet from an AK-47 wielded by a Hamas fighter. These bombs are of similar precision to Hamas on October 7th. The Hamas militants charged across the border and started shooting every soldier they could find. A bullet is directly directed by an individual person, so they are intrinsically more precise than any guided bomb.

Did a lot of innocent Israeli civilians get caught in the crossfire? Sure. There were civilian casualties, and those increased by an order of magnitude once Israel started shooting into crowds of its own civilians. But I'm glad you recognize that Hamas does such a great job of protecting civilians. If you find the Israeli pager bombings a work of superior precision combat, you should similarly admire the work of Hamas on October 7. They are works of similar precision.

What i dont understand, is that the intend of the attacks on Gaza become a lot more obvious when you compare it to the efficiency of attacks on Lebanon.
