It is hard to think of an attack more calculated to sow fear and confusion -- terrifying in their scope
Hezbollah members were blown up in supermarkets, on the street, in their cars, at home, next to their children
At a time when Hezbollah and Israel have been locked in a low-level war for almost a year, these attacks will have devastating consequences for Hezbollah’s manpower, communications and morale
With large numbers of Hezbollah's personnel now injured and its vital communication network massively - and embarrassingly - disrupted, this would clearly be a tempting moment for Israel to take advantage
Please! Strike while the Iron is hot. Please! Not another missed opportunity

They picked the wrong room and the Hamas leaders survived.
