In reply to the discussion: Israel Planted Explosives in Pagers Sold to Hezbollah, Officials Say [View all]Beastly Boy

They friggin told us, in no uncertain terms.
And since it was Hezbollah members, and no one else, who were ordered to use the pagers purchased by Hezbollah, we know that an overwhelming majority of the casualties must have been the intended users of the said pagers, i.e. the aforementioned "members" and no one else.
The current number of casualties from exploding pagers hovers around 3000, which is equivalent to the number of troops in a US brigade. So, with my apologies, I am taking back "division's worth" in favor of "brigade's worth". I trust that the bit about them all being disabled in a single day without a single IDF soldier crossing the border requires no further elaboration.
