Lebanon in Turmoil: At least 100 injured in cities across country a day after exploding pagers
In a chilling turn of events, Lebanon has been plunged into chaos and uncertainty following a series of deadly attacks that have left the country reeling. At least three people have lost their lives, and over a hundred have been injured in explosions across Lebanon, believed to be targeting walkie-talkies used by the Hezbollah organization. This comes just a day after a devastating attack involving exploding pagers, which injured thousands and claimed the lives of twelve individuals.
A source within Hezbollah has confirmed that the group's walkie-talkies were the intended targets of the latest attack. Security sources describe the individual explosions as "small in size," resembling the attacks on Tuesday. The initial reports of casualties, as stated by Lebanon's National News Agency, indicate a grim toll.
Hezbollah and the Lebanese government have pointed the finger at Israel, holding them responsible for Tuesday's attack. Hezbollah has issued a stern warning, threatening a "fair punishment" in response to the explosion.
Visual evidence, including photographs and a video, provides a chilling glimpse into the aftermath. The images depict shattered and scorched communication devices amidst scenes of destruction. Notably, the Guardian has obtained multiple pictures of an Icom IC-V82 two-way radio that appears to have been torn apart by an explosion.
In a disturbing video, a Hezbollah member attending a funeral for fighters killed on Tuesday suddenly falls victim to a blast, sending him crashing to the ground. The crowd surrounding him scatters in panic.
While Israel has not officially claimed responsibility for either attack, reports suggest a sophisticated operation where explosives were covertly placed in thousands of pagers purchased by Hezbollah.
This escalating situation demands urgent attention and a thorough investigation to prevent further loss of life and to bring those responsible to justice.
