Hizbullah Leaders Learn They're Vulnerable
(Wall Street Journal) Editorial - The explosion of pagers held by Hizbullah operatives across Lebanon and Syria on Tuesday is an audacious display of modern technological warfare. It's also a warning to Iran's Shiite proxy militia of the human price it will pay if it continues bombing northern Israel. More than 4,000 were injured and 11 killed, according to Lebanon. Israel has ample cause to target Hizbullah fighters who have fired more than 8,000 rockets at Israel since Oct. 7, forcing 60,000 Israelis from their homes for nearly a year. The bombing has widened recently to other Israeli cities. No sovereign state can tolerate this and Israel can't afford to let a terrorist militia backed by Iran and operating next door bomb its territory with impunity. The pager attack was discriminating, exploding in the hands and pockets of Hizbullah combatants.
