"Israel's government is in turmoil and Washington has been trying furiously to head off a wider conflict, leaving experts and officials to wonder about the timing of the attack and what it signaled about Israel's intentions in Lebanon."
"The lack of any major military follow-up by Israel in the hours after the first explosions suggests 'the timing wasn't the optimal one,' said Oded Eilam, a former senior Mossad operative."
"An adviser to Israel's military intelligence directorate assessed that agents may have taken control of the beeper supply chain, emptied the devices' contents and filled them with small amounts of explosives."
"The level of suspicion is high, and it takes only one to explode [unintentionally] for the operation to be burned, highlighting the risks involved in such meticulous planning."
