Second round of Hezbollah’s booby-trapped device explosions recorded in Lebanon

By and 09/18/2024 | updated 1 year ago

A second round of electronic communications device explosions was recorded in Lebanon, just one day after 12 people were killed and thousands were injured in similar explosions.

Lebanese media reported several explosions in Beirut and Dahiyeh, a Hezbollah-dominated suburb of the capital. Pictures and videos posted on social media showed large fires resulting from the explosions, which were apparently hidden in devices other than the pagers used in Tuesday’s attack.

One picture showed what appeared to be a detonated walkie-talkie.

The explosions appeared to be more destructive than Tuesday’s, causing fires in apartments and destroying at least one car.

At least one of the explosions occurred at a Hezbollah funeral.
