Original Note:
Israel did not "blow up thosands of pagers indiscriminately". Hezbollah, a designated terrorist organization by the US and many western allies, distributed the pagers in question to it's most senior operatives. The operation was targeting them, and managed to harm mainly them. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-planted-explosives-hezbollahs-taiwan-made-pagers-say-sources-2024-09-18/
