>It's a really evil tactic.

As an attack on a huge terrorist cell this attack is as targeted as one can possibly be at this scale. Normal course of action for pretty much any other country in the world would be carpet bombing the areas with little to no regard of civilian casualties, it is only when Israel does it suddenly UN becomes concerned.

This is not indiscriminate explosion of thousands of random pagers that entered Lebanese circulation, it is explosion that is triggered on specific Hezbollah channel, you can't target any more directly than that.
