Explosions of electronic devices in Lebanon
Explosions of electronic devices in Lebanon, belonging to members of Hezbollah and civilians, continue. According to Axios sources, Israeli intelligence services conducted a series of attacks that resulted in the detonation of thousands of two-way radios used by Hezbollah members.
According to local media reports, in addition to radios, mobile phones, radio receivers, laptops, and electronics on motorcycles and in cars are also exploding. There is information about detonations in cellular stores and residential buildings, many of which caught fire.
Particularly affected are icom v82 model radios from the Japanese firm ICOM from a new batch, which are believed to have been specifically equipped with explosives by Israeli intelligence services.
According to Lebanese authorities, yesterday's explosions resulted in 11 deaths, about 4000 people were injured, many of them seriously. Most of the victims are Hezbollah members.
Hezbollah accused Israel of carrying out the attacks and called on residents to get rid of all electronic devices. Israeli officials are not commenting on the situation but acknowledge the possibility of serious escalation on the northern border.
The US stated that it was not warned about the operation in advance. Experts believe that Israel is trying to undermine Hezbollah's confidence and demonstrate its communication vulnerability.
