My understanding of this is those pagers and the network they were connected to were only for use by Hesbollah.

Definitely there has to be a good reason for it.
It seems to be when they reach the end of their “growth” phase, and start trying to get the most revenue out of their current customer base.
At least until recently, all those companies made a good product.
Is anyone even remotely surprised by this?
He was probably meeting with someone who had one, being an ambassador and all.
Multiple news articles are saying this was a production level attack, on devices that were specifically ordered by Hesbollah.
Those devices were bought by Hesbollah, for their soldiers to use, and were connected to a network they operate.
From what I understand about the attack, even if one of these devices made it’s way into the hands of a doctor, it would have to be connected to the Hesbollah network to detonate.
I’d argue a for profit company is probably more likely to understand what their customers want, given their goal is to make as much money as possible.
We’ve never had a similar situation to compare to.
I’m from New Zealand, our police shoot people with knives occasionally. I’m not convinced this would have ended differently here, or any other country.
A knife is an incredibly dangerous weapon, and the alternative solutions being proposed here just aren’t realistic.
The man catcher poles thing was pretty funny though.
They’re already at war though.
To take this to it’s logical extreme, how do you feel about assassination attempts on high ranking Nazi officials? They’re non combatants, after all.
Likely because the bulk of those wounded by this attack were not Hezbollah
What makes you think that? These pagers were bought by Hesbollah to be used by their guys.
Israelis and cops just doesn’t sound as snappy.
Misguided? No, it’s a scam, just like almost every other crypto coin.
some untrained bloke with a pocket knife,
Wow.
Even in video games, a knife is typically pretty deadly. It’s an instant kill if you stab someone in the back in a few games.
