 I understand that Hezbollah bought the pagers for their own use for
secure communications, so Hezbollah people mostly got them.
 Collateral damage is to some extent inevitable in war, but the
Israelis are not terrorists. Hamas and Hezbollah are.

Israel is fighting its war on terror about the same way the US lost our own; bomb and shoot anything that moves and if someone gets hit rely on the mainstream media to dutifully report that one more dangerous terrorist has been eliminated.
Rinse and repeat until the act is no longer politically expedient and retreat in disgrace.
The current Middle East conflict continues beyond all rational proportion or benefit with respect to the inciting incident, mainly because one Netanyahu and cronies find it politically expedient to continue it, similar to how Bush II found a multi-front war politically expedient.

I'm surprised that anybody still makes or uses pagers.

Well, after it became widely believed that Israel was targeting
residents of Gaza based on smartphone data..

 That makes sense. Most governments find bad guys that way.
 

Yes all the latest high-tech toys the US and Israeli surveillance state can come up with are getting a good work-out and break in period over there, you'd think that might give the average Trumper facing down the prospect of the better part of a decade of life under "Queen Kamala" pause..
