"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Lebanon pager attack: Did Israel break international law? - MEE

 Lebanon has been rocked this week by an Israeli attack targeting Hezbollah that turned communication devices into bombs, leaving dozens dead and injuring thousands more.

On Tuesday afternoon, thousands of pagers exploded across the country, killing at least 14 people.

On Wednesday, walkie-talkies blew up, including at the funerals of some of those who died the previous day: at the time of writing at least 20 people are dead from that attack.

Many of the estimated 4,000 people who have been maimed have injuries to the head and stomach. Some have lost their eyesight or limbs, notably fingers. Hundreds are still in a critical condition.

As is its policy, Israel has neither confirmed nor denied its alleged involvement in the attacks.
