New Delhi: A day after thousands of pagers belonging to Hezbollah exploded throughout Lebanon, hand-held radios, or walkie-talkies, used by the Iran-backed group detonated on Wednesday night across southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut, according to Reuters.

At least 9 people have been killed and over 100 injured in the latest blasts.

One of the explosions took place as Hezbollah held a funeral for members killed the previous day.

Videos recorded by witnesses went viral portraying the damage caused.


Tuesday’s explosions targeting Hezbollah members are believed to have been orchestrated by Israel’s Mossad spy agency.

According to Lebanese security sources, explosives were planted inside pagers imported by Hezbollah months before the attack.

The pager blasts led to at least 12 deaths, including two children, and injured around 3,000 people, according to Lebanese health minister Firass Abiad.

On Wednesday, Hezbollah responded by launching a rocket attack on Israeli artillery positions in southern Lebanon.
