    I have no sympathy whatsoever for Hezbollah. They can all rot in hell, as far as I'm concerned.

    But I'm not sure this was a good idea. Innocent children that just happened to stand close by were injured or killed. It's not clear to me that the overall effect will be positive for Israel.

    It’s about intent. Innocents might be caught in the blast range, but it’s accidental and not intended. Hezbollah specifically targets civilians and children. That’s all the difference in the world.

      Beyond that, I also wouldn’t believe anything those lying sacks of shit say about innocent casualties.

        I suspect the collateral damage is minimal if any. But they surely screwed Hezbollah's operational capability.

          A couple of kids died, which is not unexpected when you detonate ~3,000 of these things. But its one of the most targeted attacks imaginable.

              It's never been obvious that Israel can violence their way out of this situation. But as violent tactics go, this was a good one.

              Education is extremely important.

                            Oh man I feel bad laughing at all of these. I agree with @Klaus but it's hard not to respect the targeted/creative approach here against an enemy that has a much worse human rights record.

                              The effect is much bigger than that. If I’m a hezbollah agent, I don’t even want to touch a telegraph right now. Communications are completely screwed, and Luxembourg has positive confirmation on over 2000 Hezbollah agents, and most likely those that are in some level of authority, even just “platoon” leaders.
