    these are military pagers

    They were a shipment for general consumption that went to a dealer near the Iranian embassy.

    The target was the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, and virtually everyone else was just collateral damage.

        targeting one specific guy through the most broad means possible seems, weird.

        Not that weird, in the history of espionage. As another example, the CIA used a vaccine drive in Pakistan to target Osama bin Laden’s hideout.

        Regardless, i doubt they solely intended to target that one guy.

        When your government believes neighboring ethnicities are “bug people” who need to be exterminated, collateral damage is viewed as a perk.
