Do you have a source stating that no bystanders were harmed?
They keep citing a tweet while others keep refuting what they’re saying with articles from BBC, NPR, and other news outlets. There’s no point in arguing with someone that can’t provide reputable sources for their claims.
Well, no; they handled a secure device without authorization.
In the US the father would be guilty of a Federal crime. It’s safe to say that it’s against Hezbollah’s operational rules as well. The child is dead because the father broke the rules.
In other cases of minors being killed in this attack, they actually were Hezbollah agents with their own issued pagers. Israel doesn’t force Hezbollah to employ child soldiers.
Do you have a source stating that no bystanders were harmed?
It’s your claim that they were harmed. What’s your source? Here’s an example on video of the device going off near bystanders:
Many, but not all, of the pagers and walkie-talkies that unexpectedly blew up over two days across Lebanon and in some neighboring countries were in the possession of Hezbollah fighters, functionaries or allies.
In this photo, an ambulance believed to be carrying wounded people drives down a street in a southern suburb of Beirut on September 18, 2024. The ambulance is white with a blue light on top that spans the width of the vehicle. Men stand on the sides of the street, which is lined with buildings.

Another wave of blasts hits Lebanon, as Hezbollah reels from pager explosions
The group is designated as a terrorist organization by several nations, including the United States, but many of its members and supporters operate in civilian areas across Lebanon — and some of the explosions left innocent bystanders, including children, injured or dead.
The kid’s blood is still on whoever triggered the devices hands. The child didn’t do anything.
Do you have a source stating that no bystanders were harmed? I can’t find anything making that claim.

But they have a video of a single incident!
Well, no; they handled a secure device without authorization.

Why would I believe it’s possible for this charge to harm anyone not carrying the pager?
First article I pulled up:
https://www.npr.org/2024/09/20/g-s1-23812/lebanon-israel-exploding-pagers-hezbollah-international-law
Not to mention that Hezbollah is an actual political party in Lebanon, not just a resistance group.
Ok, and what does this refute? I haven’t claimed there to be zero civilian casualties, but it’s currently fewer than one in one thousand.
Again, I’ve posted video. Why would I believe that could harm anyone but the bearer?
