Thousands of civilians injured... very few Hezbollah dead.
Makes Israel look like a terrorist organization, IMHO.

I doubt you would have been happy either way, but I think your statements about the injuries is also unsubstantiated.
There has been no statement or indication that the thousands of people injured were comprised in any significant proportion of civilians. Given that these pagers were purchased by Hezbollah directly and videos of their explosions show a minimal blast radius it is premature and, depending on motives, propagandistic to claim that the thousands of people injured were civilians.
Why would civilians have in their possession tactical communication devices of a military organization?
