I know I am being biased when I remember how many civvies were killed on 7th Oct.

Attempting to stir up sympathy for terrorists hit by one of the most surgical military attacks of modern times?

Or that 12 yr olds are necessarily “involved” or intended targets.
If you truly believe that these attacks were surgically precise, you are admitting that Israel intentional targeted civilians - children, no less - for political violence. The definition of terrorism, as it happens.Survivors of Israel's pager attack on Hezbollah struggle to recover

Based on what we know, that isn't accurate for the Israeli operation. It appears the collateral damage was remarkably light for the breadth of this operation. In fact, it doesn't seem like anyone received the device that shouldn't have and the collateral damage was family or people close to them.If you truly believe that these attacks were surgically precise, you are admitting that Israel intentional targeted civilians - children, no less - for political violence.

Loren's argument is that mentioning the harm at all is bias, which is ridiculous... unless the AP minimized the harm from the 10/7 atrocity.

If you don't want to see the difference between what Loren said and your argument I can only assume it's willful blindness.

Terrorism is about sending those devices to random people to stoke fear within the general public.
Arguably, it'd be the military target of all military targets. However, the object being used to carry out the attack was civilian, full of civilians.Would you describe the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon as a terrorist attack?Based on what we know, that isn't accurate for the Israeli operation.
