A new series of explosions occurred in Lebanon on September 18 – according to preliminary data, this time communication devices (walkie-talkies and radio receivers) were blown up.
SkyNewsArabia reports this, citing an AFP source in the security agencies.
A number of wireless communication devices exploded in a southern suburb of Beirut, a report said.
According to Reuters, explosions of devices were recorded on Wednesday, September 18, in the south of the country and in the southern suburbs of Beirut. At least one of the explosions occurred at a funeral for members of the group killed in the pager explosions that occurred on Tuesday, September 17.
Reuters, citing a security source, reports that the devices that exploded across Lebanon on September 18 are portable radios and are different from the pagers that exploded on September 17.
Hundreds of pagers used by Hezbollah fighters to communicate went off simultaneously in Lebanon on Tuesday, killing at least eight people and wounding nearly 2,000 more.
The attack came a day after Israeli leaders warned they were considering stepping up military action against Hezbollah.
The explosion of pagers belonging to members of the Lebanese group Hezbollah was organized by Israel’s foreign intelligence service, Reuters reports, citing sources.
Mossad added a board with explosive material to five thousand devices that can receive a code. It is very difficult to detect by any means, the source said.
Another security source told Reuters that the new pagers contained up to three grams of explosives that Hezbollah had “not noticed for months”.
Taiwanese manufacturer Gold Apollo said its branded products were manufactured by a company in Hungary.
It is known that as a result of the operation nine people were killed and about three thousand were injured. Among them was the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon.
