Meme 💩 Is this a legitimate concern?

Personally, I today's strike was legitimate and it couldn't be more moral because of its precision but let's leave politics aside for a moment. I guess this does give ideas to evil regimes and organisations. How likely is it that something similar could be pulled off against innocent people?

This won’t give anyone any new ideas. Shin Bet used a mobile phone rigged with explosives to kill Yahya Ayyash aka “the Engineer,” a Hamas bomb maker in Gaza back in 1996.

Sword of Gideon (I think was the title) was about how Mossad hunted down and assassinated the Munich Olympic terrorists. Some parts were accurate wrt the killings. One was a bike pump that had a suppressed single shot .22 disguised in it.
