At least 32 people were killed and over 3,250 injured following two days of explosions in Hezbollah strongholds across Lebanon. The blasts were caused by walkie-talkies and pagers used by Hezbollah members, sparking fears of a wider conflict with Israel. Hezbollah accused Israel of responsibility, while Israeli forces have not officially commented. The U.S. and UN have urged restraint, warning of potential escalation in the region. Israel and Hezbollah have been engaged in conflict since October 2023, following Hamas's attack on Israeli towns.
