Israel yesterday executed a surgical strike against more than \xa0three thousand Hezbollah operatives. The \u201csurgery\u201d was executed via typically pocket-borne Iranian-supplied pagers that the Israelis were able to detonate nearly simultaneously across Lebanon.\n\xa0\nIn addition to losing private and other body parts, the terrorist organization sustained what is in Middle Eastern culture, an even greater blow: a loss of face.\n\xa0\nThe reaction was immediate. Across the Arab world \u2013 including notably in areas of Lebanon, memes, videos and social media posts figuratively exploded, evidence of widespread hatred of both Hezbollah and its masters in Tehran.\n\xa0\nIsrael\u2019s strike has also helped burnish its reputation for military and intelligence preeminence. Which is good for the Jewish State \u2013 and for an America whose government has shamefully sought to coerce our ally into making territorial and other concessions to our mutual enemy: a now-somewhat emasculated Hezbollah.\xa0 \xa0 \xa0\n\xa0\nThis is Frank Gaffney.
