Walkie-Talkie Explosions in Lebanon, Hezbollah has accused Israel’s Mossad
Walkie-Talkie Explosions in Lebanon: On September 19, 2024, a series of walkie-talkie explosions killed at least 14 people and injured over 300 in Hezbollah-controlled areas across Lebanon. The blasts follow an attack the previous day where booby-trapped pagers detonated, killing 12 and wounding nearly 3,000. Hezbollah has accused Israel’s Mossad of orchestrating the explosions by planting the devices months earlier.
The attacks occurred in Beirut’s southern suburbs and other areas, with one explosion near a funeral for a Hezbollah member. Hezbollah has vowed retaliation against Israel, calling it a “criminal massacre.” Israel, meanwhile, has shifted its focus to countering Hezbollah as tensions rise.
The origin of the explosive devices remains under investigation, with reports linking the pagers to a Hungarian manufacturer. While Israel has yet to comment formally, Hezbollah continues to accuse the country of escalating the conflict following months of increased tensions. The incidents have sparked fears of a broader confrontation between Hezbollah, backed by Iran, and Israel, with both sides on high alert.
The U.S. has urged both sides to avoid further escalation, but Hezbollah has promised to continue supporting Hamas in Gaza and respond to what it describes as Israel’s “massacre.” Amid these developments, cross-border skirmishes between Hezbollah and Israeli forces have been ongoing, with Hezbollah warning of harsher retaliatory strikes.
