Hand-held radios used by Hezbollah have detonated across Lebanon ’s south and in Beirut’s southern suburbs, a security source and a witness say, further hiking tensions with Israel a day after similar explosions launched via the group’s pagers. A Hezbollah official told the Associated Press walkie-talkies used by the group exploded as part of blasts heard in Beirut.
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. The death toll rose to 12, including two children, Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad said on Wednesday. Tuesday’s attack wounded nearly 3000 people, including many of the militant group’s fighters and Iran’s envoy to Lebanon.
