And how much collateral damage was done by these exploding pages?

More importantly, what is going to be the response from Hezbollah on this, and will it lead to a wider war in the Middle East.

Know what? Those are the wrong questions. “Frankly, my dear...”

Well, if you had watched any of the videos, you would realize almost none as the explosions were quite small.

I believe this had to be a preliminary attack to a much larger attack to follow - a move to cripple their command and control before makes a major attack on installations, ammo and supplies. The ability of Hezebollah to respond to a big attack is severely limited - temporarily. I think Israel will now take the opening to hit them very hard.

This was a decapitation strike on Hezbollah leadership and it really degrades Hezbollah combat effectiveness.

Israel has few choices in the North at this point - either Hezbollah withdraws or Israel attacks to drive them out.

This attack will either motivate Hezbollah to remove itself from the Israeli border or reduce it's combat effectiveness if Israel is forced to attack. I take this as demand letter from the IDF - withdraw or we attack .

I have zero sympathy for Hezballah. Yet I don’t feel joy at the mayhem. It was a terror operation aimed at terrorists.

Probably not a whole lot. Pagers, which use old technology, were probably used for encrypted messages relating to terrorism, so if you had one of those pagers, you were probably a terrorist. Innocent civilians, even in a less-developed region like the Middle East, would probably be using cell phones.

I think it was meant to either deter a wider war, or to make winning that war easier. Incredible story, really. Heisting the pagers in transit and rigging them to explode whenever they wanted. Nobody the wiser of the whole operation.

>>how much collateral damage…

It was a proximity hit of people important enough to have the beepers.

The vid of the hit at the store checkout register showed only one person going down.

This was a response to Hezbollah’s recent attacks on Israel.

Not much collateral damage from remote vasectomies, except for a sharp drop in athletic cup sales.

Almost no collateral damage was done.

It was the most precise attack in the history of attacks.

<>will it lead to a wider war in the Middle East.<>

Decapitation of an enemy’s leadership before offensive operations is every general’s dream.
