Exploding Pagers Catch Hezbollah "Completely Off Guard"

[Warpy]

This is one of tose sleeper stories that will get bigger, IMO. I don't think it's been widely reported because first, everybody on the planet except maybe Mossad was caught completely off guard, and second, it sounds like a joke. It's not a joke, 2500 Hezbollah fighters were injured, many severely, and 9 were killed. My guess says much of the middle of the command structure was taken out---days to weeks to permanently.

It's a sleeper story because they're going to be chasing ghosts into dead ends for years trying to trace these things. In addition, Washington has its collective nose out of joint because they weren't notified of a major operation against Hezbollah, which this is. The usual suspects in the ME are shrieking this is an act of war (like those rockets fired onto kids playing football wasn't?) and might act on it this time.

Posting because I haven't seen much about this here.
