A wave of device explosions has rocked Lebanon, with reports indicating that communication devices are being targeted. The attacks have resulted in the deaths of three individuals and left hundreds injured. One particularly devastating explosion occurred during the funeral ceremonies of Hezbollah members in Beirut.
Unlike previous attacks that involved pagers, the latest incidents have involved hand-held radios. Emergency services have been deployed to multiple cities across the country to respond to the escalating situation. Hezbollah’s leadership has ominously stated that the group is now entering “a new phase” and warns that “punishment is certainly coming.”
Al Jazeera correspondents are actively covering the unfolding events across the region, providing updates and insights into the attacks. The explosions come at a time of heightened tensions in the region, with concerns about potential retaliation and further violence looming.
The attacks have raised fears of a resurgence of violence in Lebanon, with the perpetrators and motives behind the explosions still unclear. The incidents underscore the fragile and volatile nature of the situation in the region, with potential ramifications for both Lebanon and its neighbors.
