Does it? Do you have any data on how many of these devices ended up in civilian hands?
Afaik they intercepted a shipment for Hamas members only. Do you have more information?
How many civilians there even use these pagers instead of mobile phones? Are there any?
Hamas is in Gaza, this attack was against Hezbollah and civilians in Lebanon.
>Afaik they intercepted a shipment for Hamas members only
Ignoring that it was Hezbollah, not Hamas, I would point out that many of Hezbollah members are civilians.
Members of an organization that shoots missiles over international borders and stockpiles arms cannot be called civilians.
That would apply to Americans and Israelis too.

What? Hamas didn't have any of the pagers, Hezbollah did.
A year on, some Lebanese bystanders hurt in Israel’s pager attack still recovering... Over 3,400 were wounded when devices belonging to Hezbollah members exploded https://www.timesofisrael.com/a-year-on-some-lebanese-bystan...
3,400 bystanders? Or 3,400 mostly-Hezbollah but some bystanders?

@dang why is this downvoted? Because I'm including a link to an Israely newspaper? Replying to a question asked? I don't include any opinion!
All I can tell you is that users downvoted it. As to why - your guess is as good as mine, though there are sometimes clues in the replies.
