This was a bombing of military personnel by parties at war. That is, by definition, not terrorism. This action has been acceptable for as long as bombs have existed.

If the identities of the parties were reversed it would absolutely be labeled as terrorism.

Will be interesting to see the ratio of civilian to military injuries was and if this is better or worse than something like a bunch of drone strikes or rocket strikes.

There were probably a bunch of civilian casualties, but I imagine most Hezbollah operative wear their pagers since their main purpose is to always receive messages, so it was probably a low percentage.

Depends on the definition, right?
