| 3. Wow, that's leaping to conclusions a bit, isn't it? |
|
You know, normal explosives make a noise that anyone would describe as 'loud' too.

| 4. Israel can defend itself well..... |
|
They have a strong arsenal to defend itself from Hamas, Hezballa and others in the region. When Israel knocks it knocks hard. The U.S. will have to take a position carefully and suggest a diplomatic end. However, Israel has among its weaponry nuclear capabilities. Provoking them in this way is not a smart move. Israel is on ready for something like this and prepared to try destroy any threat.

| 7. all the parties know the capabilities of Israel |
|
the Lebanon war lasted almost 20 years and didn't end too long ago.
In fact the Hezbollah leader just taunted Israel's PM and defense minister about their lack of experience.
