Lebanon Radio Blast: A new incident of war between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East has increased tensions in the region. After the pager blast in Lebanon on Tuesday (September 17, 2024), two more explosions took place in the capital Beirut on Wednesday (September 18). The explosions on Wednesday took place in electronic equipment.

According to AP reports, hand-held wireless radio devices and several walkie-talkies exploded in several areas of Beirut. According to the report, 9 people were killed and more than 300 were injured in the explosion of hand-held radio devices on Wednesday. Hezbollah called the explosions an Israeli breach in its communications network and vowed to respond to the attack. Hezbollah also said it would continue to support Hamas in Gaza.

According to a Reuters report, handheld radios used by Hezbollah have exploded in the south of the country and the southern suburbs of the capital. According to the report, an explosion occurred near the funeral site of those killed by Hezbollah yesterday (September 17, 2024). The incident comes after nearly 3,000 people were injured and 12 killed in pager explosions in Lebanon on Tuesday

According to a Reuters report, the handheld radios were purchased by Hezbollah five months ago. The pagers were purchased at about the same time. Hezbollah accused Israel of carrying out the attack on Tuesday. Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate against Israel.

Hezbollah responded with rocket attacks on Israeli artillery positions in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, the first direct attack on Lebanon since the pager attacks. The pager blasts have heightened tensions in a region already tense from cross-border clashes between Hezbollah and Israel.
