In Lebanon, at least 20 people have been killed and over 450 injured following a second wave of explosions involving hand-held radios. The blasts occurred during funerals for victims of an earlier attack using pagers. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the cross-border attack into Israel, though the US has denied involvement and cautioned against escalation. The violence has led to widespread panic and fear in Beirut, with numerous casualties and heightened security concerns. Hezbollah operatives were seen removing the devices from the scene, as angry and distressed residents faced further turmoil.
