I suppose the point of it is that your phone buzzes when a drone strikes. That‘s the dramaturgy of it. A buzzing phone tells you: something has happened. But this time it’s not your alarm clock, or your friend texting: it’s knowing that a bom has dropped. This then gives an eerie sense of awareness of/relation to something that normally is far away and abstract.
(of course, the strike was not really that instant, but that at least is the suggestion of it, by linking it to the instantaneous feeling push notifications).

My god!! That's not only offensive, it's disturbing! Confronting! Mildly unsettling, even! Can't they just hurl birds at pigs, like everybody else?
