Not one kid, atleast two kids and medical workers.

“Tuesday’s attacks, which targeted pagers used by members of Hezbollah and have been attributed to Israel, left at least 2,800 injured and 12 dead, including two children and a healthcare worker.”

“At least one explosion was close to a funeral being held in Beirut for some of the victims of Tuesday’s attack, creating panic among those near the procession.”

“People in Lebanon are terrified of everyday communication devices following two days of deadly pager and walkie-talkie blasts, said Nabih Bulos, Middle East bureau chief of the Los Angeles Times.”

“Two beeps and a pause was the only warning Yusuf got. He turned around to face the noise, thinking it was one of his medical instruments, but instead was met with an explosion, throwing shrapnel into his leg. His patient fared much worse.”

It also had the exact same effect that a terrorist organization wishes to instill in a populace, terrorised to go out in public.

And if you think all of those 3000 injured people are militant members of Hezbollah:

1- it is just wishful thinking to verify your own world view

2- you will be very disappointed in the next couple weeks (or just again disregard any contrary evidence so as to keep living in your simple world)

All in all it is absolutely clear that multiple civilians including two kids have died, this was an attack with very high risk of civilian casualties and it terrorised/traumatized the civilian populace of Lebanon. This is not the clean surgical operation that you dream it to be, this is just an operation that demonstrates alot of power, reach and blatant disregard for civilian life. You are only drooling over the first two and pretending like the third does not exist (I dont know why because so far my impression of you is that you simply wouldnt care).

You know nothing about my world, don’t try to infer my life out of a dozen Internet posts

This is a greatly successful operation with minimal number of civilian casualties. Usually, civilians casualties are much higher, and are never zero. I am not saying i don’t give a damn about civilians : i am saying there are 2 countries waging (almost) a war on each other, and this operation is a great (tactical?) success
