Inside Israel's plan to expedite pager attack

Al-Monitor's Gabrielle Debinski and Tyler Huffman report on why Israeli officials, choosing between three options, made a decision on Tuesday to detonate pagers used by Hezbollah operatives. The pager attacks killed at least 12 people, including two children, and left around 2,800 others injured. On Wednesday more explosions followed as hand-held radios detonated, killing at least 20 people and injuring more than 450, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry.
