BEIRUT, Sep 18: In recent developments in Lebanon, a series of explosions involving walkie-talkies and other electronic devices have left at least 12 people dead and more than 300 injured. These incidents began with the simultaneous detonation of electronic pagers in both Lebanon and Syria, with most of the blasts occurring in southern Beirut. The devices are believed to have been planted months ago by Israel's Mossad, targeting Hezbollah operatives. Additional explosions were reported the following day, including one near a funeral for victims of the initial blast

These attacks have sparked further tensions in the region, with Hezbollah and local sources attributing the explosions to Israeli military actions. The incidents have been described as part of a broader confrontation involving Israeli forces and Hezbollah, heightening fears of escalating violence
