Well done, Israel

It is good that Israel takes this action now. This is a chance to put Hezbollah out of their grisly business.

Iran is using Hezbollah to test Israel. Iranian President has declared that Iran will wipe Israel off the map. Ahmedinejad is also gearing up Iran's missile and nuclear capabilities. With Hezbollah under his thumb, what prevents him from providing better rockets with better guidance capabilities, perhaps with a dirty nuclear bomb in it or even a chemical or a biological weapon. It is necessary for Israel now to excise Iranian influence from Lebanon, whose proxy Hezbollah is, for it's own survival. The State of lebanon has proved itself to be a dumb spectator , even though it is the main victim so far.
