Hezbollah’s Hand-Held Radios Explode Across Lebanon

Reuters reports:

Hand-held radios used by Hezbollah detonated late on Wednesday afternoon across Lebanon’s south and in Beirut’s southern suburbs, a security source and a witness said, further hiking tensions with Israel a day after similar explosions launched via the group’s pagers.

At least one of the blasts took place near a funeral organized by Iran-backed Hezbollah for those killed the previous day when thousands of pagers used by the group exploded across the country and wounded many of the group’s fighters.

Israel’s spy agency Mossad, which has a long history of sophisticated operations on foreign soil, planted explosives inside pagers imported by Hezbollah months before Tuesday’s detonations, a senior Lebanese security source and another source told Reuters.

More communication devices that exploded across Lebanon are hand-held radios, different to pagers, says Reuters citing security source. Our correspondent has the latest from Beirut pic.twitter.com/sVn8MqJymy
