Lebanon, even “walkie talkies” explode: flames and roars, here are the videos

Al-Arabiya sources reported that explosions also occurred during the funeral ceremonies of Hezbollah members killed yesterday in the pager attack. In particular, an explosion occurred during the funeral of the son of the MP Hezbollah Ali Ammarnear Beirut.

The “new phase” of the attack reportedly targeted portable radios and walkie-talkies purchased five months ago along with pagers. “Israel has detonated thousands of personal radios (walkie-talkies) used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon in a second wave of its intelligence operation that began Tuesday with the explosion of Hezbollah pagers,” local media wrote. “The personal radios, which were pre-emptively booby-trapped by Israeli intelligence and then handed over to Hezbollah, were part of the militia’s emergency communications system that was supposed to be used during a war with Israel.” They reportedly nine dead and 300 injured. According to sources of «Axios» the transceivers “had been previously equipped with explosive traps by the Israeli secret services and then handed over to Hezbollah as part of the terrorists’ “emergency communications system” that “was supposed to be used during a war with Israel.”

Second Lebanese agency Nnasome solar panels also reportedly exploded. Photos of other devices, such as fingerprint scanners, that reportedly exploded are also circulating on social media.

HaShem Safieddinehead of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, said: “These attacks will certainly be punished in a unique way. There will be a bloody and unique revenge.” And again: “I will not talk about it for a long time because tomorrow the leader of Hezbollah will speak and everything will be revealed. And we will find ourselves in a new situation and a new confrontation with this enemy” who “must know that we are not defeated, that we will not give in, that we will not retreat and that we will not be influenced by what he is doing.”

Coincidentally, the UN immediately took a stand against those who plotted these explosions. “I think it is very important that there is effective control of civilian objects, not turning them into weapons, this should be a rule that governments should be able to implement,” Guterres said. The United Nations Security Council will call an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon.

Meanwhile, Israel is moving its troops towards southern Lebanon. “We are entering a new phase of the war,” declared Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Confirmation also comes from Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati: “The brutality of this crime cannot be expressed. We are at war, considering what our people are experiencing in the south of the Lebanon for 11 months”.

The first political reaction comes from Avs. “We are faced with a terrible act, a terrorist action without scruples. An ignoble act against international law,” AVS vice president Marco Grimaldi told the Chamber. “While the operation had just been carried out, not claimed by anyone but immediately attributed to Israel by the entire world, the Israeli air force launched deadly raids against terrorist structures in the area of ​​Ayita al-Shàab and al-Khyam, in the south of Lebanonand deep into the country, 100 kilometers from the border. We wonder why our Government is silent. What does Tajani have to say? In the face of the genocide in Gaza, he barely asked for respect for international law,” adds Grimaldi. “In the face of the violation of Lebanese and Iranian sovereignty, he could do nothing but stammer words of circumstance. We are facing a dramatic escalation. When will he have the courage to say, as we have been doing for months, that Netanyahu is a war criminal, asking for sanctions for Israel’s actions?”
