Israel Bombs Lebanon After Blowing Up Pagers in "Act of Mass Mutilation." Is Ground Invasion Next?

​​Israel attacked more than 300 sites in Lebanon Monday, killing at least 182 people and injuring more than 700 others as fears grow of an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah. The Israeli military also ordered residents of southern Lebanon to leave their homes if they live near any site used by the militant group. "At the heart of this is an attempt to manufacture consent and try to portray most southern Lebanese as Hezbolloh operatives," says Sintia Issa, editor-at-large at the Beirut-based media organization The Public Source. We also speak with Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a British Palestinian reconstructive surgeon volunteering at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, where he has been treating victims of last week's device explosions that injured thousands of people. He describes the disfiguring injuries from Israel's booby-trapping of pagers and walkie-talkies, calling it "an act of mass mutilation."
