The Real Goal of Israel's Exploding-Pager Attack on Hezbollah
Briefly

"It promulgates fear. It demonstrates to their enemy, 'Hey, we can reach out and touch you anywhere, anytime.' I would imagine that Hezbollah is significantly questioning who is in their ranks."
"In military science terms, the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is described as asymmetric. Israel is a nation with a standing army and all the resources of a modern economy."
"It's a way to target internal unity of purpose within an organization. Not everyone is as committed as the leaders are. You have a rank and file who can potentially leave the organization if they assess that their personal risk is too high."
