In the fog of a single day in early May, Israeli airstrikes fell across southern Lebanon with a force that resists easy accounting — casualty figures ranging from seven to forty-one dead, depending on who was counting and when.

What no source disputed was the rubble of a Catholic convent, a structure of faith reduced to symbol — of blurred lines, of a conflict that has long since outgrown the boundaries of the military and the measurable.
