Israel’s retaliation to the ongoing attacks from Hezbollah were obviously expected, but the scale of the destruction of their rocket-firing foe has fuelled the ongoing debate on proportional response. Israel’s pager attack took everyone by surprise, and over the last 48 hours, almost the entire command structure of Hezbollah have been killed; including Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. Now, Israel is apparently planning a ‘limited incursion’ into southern Lebanon, and the collateral suffering of the civilian population doesn’t seem likely to dissuade them.
