But these sources say that the Israelis may be willing to court that danger if they have a chance to take out Nasrallah, whom...

...this assault by sending a swarm of civilians to the house of a militant commander who was the intended target of Israeli air strikes. Faced with the prospect of killing so many Palestinian civilians, the Israeli planes veered away. At one Israeli checkpoint, a Palestinian grandmother belted with explosives blew herself up and only lightly injured her intended victims, the Israeli sentries.
