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.
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.

I thought that was a breaking bad reference when you made the first comment.
Yeah, at his age it’s pretty unlikely someone is going to change in a meaningful way.
The general consensus was that trump can’t have ptsd because he’s a bad person who ruins others lives.
There’s a lot of people on Lemmy, particularly in the politics and world news communities, that I would go out of my way to avoid in real life. They seem to forget that people they don’t like are human, and say some absolutely vile things as a result.
A particularly bad example was when the Titan submersible was lost, there were some downright ghoulish comments made after that happened.
