Israel did it again today. Hooray! What Isreal has Gallant says 'new phase' of war is developing in north Hundreds more hurt, 9 killed in Lebanon in 2nd wave of Hezbollah device explosions Walkie-talkies blow up around country; one explosion witnessed at funeral for victim of Tuesday’s pager attack; some solar energy systems said to also detonate By Agencies and Emanuel Fabian Follow People gather as firefighters put out the flames at the scene of a device explosion in Saida in southern Lebanon on September 18, 2024, a day after thousands of Hezbollah pagers exploded in an attack blamed on Israel. (Mahmoud ZAYYAT / AFP) A fresh wave of explosions ripped across Lebanon on Wednesday afternoon, appearing to mainly target hand-held radios used by Hezbollah members, a day after thousands were wounded when their pagers spontaneously exploded in a coordinated attack widely blamed on Israel after months of cross-border fire. At least nine people were killed in Wednesday’s second wave of blasts, the state news agency reported, and at least 300 were wounded in the latest device blast, according to Lebanese officials. Explosions were also reported in phones, solar energy systems and fingerprint reading devices used by the group. At least one of the blasts took place at a funeral organized by Iran-backed Hezbollah for some of the 12 people killed in the pager explosion attack on Tuesday. An AP photographer in the southern coastal city of Sidon saw a car and a mobile phone shop that were damaged by devices exploding inside of them. “A number of walkie-talkies exploded in Beirut’s southern suburbs,” a source told Reuters, with Hezbollah-affiliated rescuers confirming devices had exploded inside two cars in the area.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Images circulating online purported to show the devices, which appeared to be different and larger than the pagers that exploded Tuesday. The hand-held radios were purchased by Hezbollah five months ago, around the same time that the pagers were bought, said a security source. A Reuters reporter in the southern suburbs of Beirut said he saw Hezbollah members frantically taking out the batteries of any walkie-talkies on them that had not exploded, tossing the parts in metal barrels around them. Images of the exploded walkie-talkies examined by Reuters showed an inside panel labeled “ICOM” and “Made in Japan.” According to its website, ICOM is a Japan-based radio communications and telephone company. Lebanon’s Red Cross said on X that it was responding with 30 ambulance teams to multiple explosions in different areas. Lebanon’s official news agency reported that solar energy systems exploded in homes in several areas of Beirut and in southern Lebanon, wounding at least one girl. The reports of further electronic devices exploding suggested even greater infiltration into Hezbollah’s supply chain than was previously thought. The new round of explosions on Wednesday came as Lebanon and Hezbollah were still struggling to come to terms with the shock and scale of Tuesday’s attack. Israel has not commented on the pager explosions, although US officials have indicated to some foreign media outlets that Jerusalem was behind the attack.
