Shortly after 37 people in Lebanon were killed and thousands of others injured by exploding pagers and walkie-talkies in attacks attributed to Israel, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah vowed retribution and said the aggression amounted to a “declaration of war.” While Nasrallah spoke, two sonic booms echoed across Beirut in an apparent show of force by Israel.
