Lebanese authorities raise death toll in pager blasts to 11, say 4,000 injured

I had to pick myself off the floor laughing when I heard this one. And today they're detonating Hezbollah's walkie-talkies.
Whoever thought this plot up deserves a big promotion,

More details on attack

Looks like it was about to be exposed so they pulled the trigger rather than this being a havenger of a wider attack in the north.

I too smile at the brilliance. A great way to make sure innocent casualties are minimized. Unusual for the IDF, but still, well done.

Now they will detonate their laptops. and Hezbollah will be back to using two tin cans and a string.

Lebanon used to be a REAL country. Maybe they should ask the French to recolonize it and establish some order....

If Bibi had the manpower I am sure he would do to Lebanon what his is already doing to the Gaza Strip. Flatten it, pave over it and set up resorts. However, there are limits to his ambitions. If he was to attack in the north he would have done it by now. Frankly, he needs to wrap this up before the US election. He will never get an opportunity like this ever again.

Hezbolla condemns the sneak attack that killed women and children, while firing rockets indiscriminately into Israel for most of this year.

There are no good guys in the middle east.

Big difference between lobbing bombs and boots on the ground. I see this as just 'mowing the lawn' while they can.
