I don’t understand that interpretation. The original comment was:
Israel could have taken out entire hospital staffs with this “technique”. Hope they remain human and don’t.

Seems unlikely considering only pagers belonging to Hezbollah had the explosives added.
They do not think it’s likely that hospital staff, Hezbollah affiliated or not, could be in danger. I challenged that.

No one has suggested that in this comment chain.
Good, then we should all agree that this was a despicable attack on Israel’s part and this whole conversation is pointless.
