Reuters: After the serial pager blasts in Lebanon on Tuesday, another blast has taken place in Lebanon's Bekaa region on Wednesday. This blast happened in a walkie-talkie device, due to which 14 people died and hundreds were injured. According to security sources, the number of dead and injured in this blast may increase. At the same time, 32 people were killed and more than 3,250 were injured in the explosions in walkie-talkie and pager.
Israel blamed for the blast
Let us tell you that earlier on Tuesday, eight people were killed and three thousand people were injured in a pager blast in Lebanon. Hezbollah fighters were also killed in this blast. Hezbollah blamed Israel for this blast. However, the Israeli army refused to make any comment about this blast.
Walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah exploded in the south of Lebanon and in the southern suburbs of Beirut on Wednesday, security sources and an eyewitness said.
Explosions during funeral
Tensions between Lebanon and Israel have escalated a day after similar explosions carried out via pagers on Wednesday came as Hezbollah forces were preparing for funerals for those killed the previous day.
Iran-backed Hezbollah said today it had attacked Israeli artillery positions with rockets. This action by Hezbollah came after a series of pager blasts in Lebanon. Now the possibility of a wider war in the Middle East has increased.
