If Israel’s wise, smoking pager should not trigger a Lebanon invasion
Despite the success of the decapitation strike against Hezbollah, because of the way Netanyahu has conducted the Gaza war, any argument for the legitimacy of its expansion will be lost before it begins.
In what must count as one of the more extraordinary acts of sabotage of all time, as many as 2800 people, including hundreds of Hezbollah officials, were injured and several killed across Lebanon on Tuesday, according to the country’s health ministry, when the pagers they used to communicate exploded.
Somebody transformed the devices into bombs before their distribution, and the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon was among those wounded.
