Its called war. Traditionally militaries have always despised spies but the results speak for themselves. No standard operation could ever have been so discriminatory or so effectively minimised the risk of collateral damage. Nor could they have disabled so many enemy soldiers so cheaply and most importantly of all, without putting a single troop at risk.

So nasty but effective. I think Israel should at least get some credit for minimising the risk of innocent bystanders getting injured. They could have made a bigger bomb.

Didn't a child die in these explosions?

That doesn't invalidate any of my points. A 10:1 ratio of militant to civilian deaths would be impossible to acheive using any conventional method. Unless you are arguing the acceptable number of civilian deaths in war is zero i'm not sure of the point you are trying to make.
