I mean, who else is using a pager in Lebanon? That's not a tool a normal consumer uses, it's only used by people to evade phone surveillance. I think it sounds like a high probability that anyone receiving one of these pages in Lebanon is part of Hezbollah.

But they can impossibly actually know who physically has the pager next to them, when they're triggering them. This is the "failing to verify each target" part.
That's not a very realistic standard for a wartime covert operation.
Maybe that's the wrong way to think about it? Maybe these "wartime covert operations" need to read up on Human Rights and figure out a way to work within it?

Is this a SoP in wartime?
I mean in the case in Lebanon they knew. They sold those pagers to Hezbollah.
