Walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah exploded across Lebanon on Wednesday, killing 14 people and injuring over 450. The explosions occurred just a day after similar blasts involving pagers rocked the southern region and Beirut’s suburbs, where Hezbollah holds significant influence. One of the blasts took place during a funeral procession for Mahdi Ammar, son of Lebanese MP Ali Ammar. Hezbollah has accused Israel of infiltrating their telecommunications system, leading to these explosions. Mossad is suspected of planting explosives in pagers used by the group. Tensions are rising as Hezbollah retaliates with rocket attacks on Israeli artillery.
