Your post is non-sense, because this operation was clearly meant as a starting salvo (to create a confusion) in a war against Lebanon. It was at risk of being discovered, so they triggered the explosions early, to at least get some effect. Reports in Israeli media confirmed this rather quickly after the explosions. Also the mass bombings killing thousand people in a few days started almost right away after the operation.

I don't understand people who think Israel is some benevolent entity that just tries to defend itself while causing as little harm and disruption as possible. They murder innocents left and right every day, create havoc in multiple countries at once, terrorize and occupy people for decades, all while playing a victim card constantly.
