Hezbollah pager attack: a new war frontier?

Multiple reports suggest that Israel’s spy agency Mossad placed explosives in thousands of Hezbollah pagers. They subsequently detonated, and according to Lebanon’s health ministry, at least 12 people were killed, and at least 2,750 are in hospital.

Is Israel behind the attack? What does this mean for tensions between Lebanon and Israel - could Israel find itself fighting a war on two fronts?
