This is an interesting article from a pro-Israeli perspective.
It has been my opinion that while it has been difficult to criticize Israel's actions previously when they performed their "precision" strikes against suspected militant targets in Gaza and West Bank because you can argue that there was some restraint practiced, the actions of Israel In Lebanon recently are indefensible. Israel has clearly crossed a fine line.
The most tragic part of it is the amount of anti-Israeli sentiment it is generating. Israel may weaken Hezbollah a little, but it will clearly never "eliminate" them and on the contrary will likely make them stronger in the long term. This desperate, brutal attempt to destroy their enemies is actually going to make them stronger and more widespread.
