They put explosives in the pagers but no shrapnel, so how does your conclusion make sense? If Israel wanted to simply cause mass damage, this would be a most incompetent way to do it.

They wanted to cause fear, which is terrorism.

Terrorism is illegitimate. Fear is only a small part of one definition of the term.

This was an attack by military on military. They were using the pagers to coordinate the rocket attacks against Israel that they e been launching lately.
