Israel could have had the last laugh as early as July 16th, 2008.

When Samir al-Kuntar was released in exchange for 2 coffins of Israeli soldiers, Israel should have bombed the celebration in Beirut, Lebanon while Nasrallah came out of his hiding to greet and hug Samir Kuntar. Israel could have very well killed two vultures with one shot.

As such, Nasrallah already has a target marked on his head. Now Kuntar is a target for killing. Israel could have very well had the last laugh during the despicable celebrations for the Kuntar in Beirut.
