Opinion: Israel's high-tech industry is its economic engine; boosting demand for tech exports crucial, especially with strong dollar; weaker dollar makes products more affordable globally, driving exports and revenue, aiding post-war recovery and averting budget cuts

Analysis: Heavy barrages into Israel show elimination of Abu Taleb, Hezbollah's key leader in southern Lebanon, hurt terror group profoundly; these initial strikes might lead to a cruise missile response, but it's unclear if Hezbollah will change its tactics

Opinion: Although international community, and Washington in particular, eager to see end to war before US election, hasty agreement will only embolden Hezbollah to refuse to negotiate, and dramatically increase likelihood of full-blown war between Israel and Lebanon
