The detonation of walkie-talkies around Lebanon a day after scores of pagers used by Hezbollah officials blew up represents utter humiliation for Hezbollah that its security can be so effortlessly breached twice, and be shown incapable of protecting its own people.
Israel's security cabinet has agreed to broaden the country's stated war aims from Gaza to the north, including enabling the return of over 60,000 Israelis displaced by cross-border exchanges with Hezbollah.
