Walkie-talkies and other devices exploded suddenly Wednesday at the site of a funeral for three Hezbollah members and a child killed by exploding pagers the day before. Lebanon’s health ministry says at least nine people were killed and 300 were wounded.

Israel’s army chief says Israel has drawn up plans for additional action against Hezbollah and is ready to strike.

“We have many capabilities that we have not yet activated,” Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said after approving new operational plans at Israel’s Northern Command on Wednesday.

“Every time we work at a certain stage, the next two stages are ready to go forward strongly,” he says. “At each stage, the price for Hezbollah needs to be high.”

    We will apply disproportionate force on it (village) and cause great damage and destruction there. From our standpoint, these are not civilian villages, they are military bases… This is not a recommendation. This is a plan. And it has been approved.”

    Um… So you’re either full of shit or you need a vocabulary refresher. That literally says that they will destroy villages despite the absurdly disproportionate civilian death toll, because “from their standpoint” they’re not “civilian villages” (whatever the fuck THAT means).

    Genocide apologist scumbag.

      It’s fucking war. The term “genocide” is being broadly used as killing the enemy, the same group of people that wants to torture and slaughter every single Jew in existence.

        Damn, those must be some really cognitively advanced children.

        You’re being disingenuous with the “it’s war” shit too, but you can go waste someone else’s time about that.
