Exploding pagers exploding in Lebanon, hurting many Hezbollah fighters is a major victory for Israel. It's however a tactical victory, on a more strategic level Israel is still in big trouble, fighting a war on multiple fronts, no clear aims, no clear endgame etcetera.

Very interesting story.

in reply to Erik Jonker • • •Many people tend to carry their pager in their trousers, close to the body, so a battery burning violently could do a lot of damage.
