It is certainly good that this terrorist is dead, though a slightly slower chain of events would have done much greater justice (if he could have seen, comprehended, and then departed from our world…)
One thing though, we don’t know who killed him or why. It is possible that people from his own side of the fight did this. It is pleasing to think that the US or Israel may have done him in, but to be accurate, you just have to say ‘We don’t know.’
Whatever Hezbollah does next, this time, Israel should act decisively. Hezbollah is likely to provide Israel with a cassus belli for destruction of Hezbollah. Israel should take advantage of this. If the West wants Syria and Iran out of Lebanon, whatever is coming next ought to provide all the excuse necessary to go ahead and make that happen. Something that must be accepted, however, is that in hunting and killing an enemy who hides behind civilians, there will be many civilian deaths. Better to get it over with now, in the way that you don’t usually pull off a Bandaid slowly, but rather in one quick pull.
