BEIRUT/JERUSALEM (Reuters) -Israeli warplanes carried out late on Thursday their most intense strikes on southern Lebanon in nearly a year of war, heightening the conflict between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah amid calls for restraint.

The suspected conversion by Israel of basic communication devices into bombs to attack Hezbollah demonstrates the deadly and confusing potential of unconventional warfare. The unprecedented nature of the assault, with pagers and walkie-talkie radios detonating across Lebanon, also challenges the concept of "grey zone" attacks, which are typically designed to be conducted under the threshold of all-out armed conflict. Had such carnage been caused by a barrage of conventional missiles fired by Israel or an invasion by tanks and troops it would have been a clear act of war.
