Jeruslaem, Israel - Sept. 18, 2024  - Lebanese media reported another round of explosions throughout the country midday on Wednesday.

Initial vague reports of networked devices exploding came in from Beirut, the Bekaa Valley, and Southern Lebanon.

If true, this would be the second consecutive day of potential sabotage and explosions in Lebanon after around 3,000 mostly members of Hezbollah were wounded by exploding beepers on Tuesday.

According to the reports, the explosions occurred in parallel to the funeral of four Hezbollah members in Lebanon. The funeral was live-streamed on X but ended abruptly.

Accusing Israel

Hezbollah has accused Israel of being the saboteur, with Jerusalem staying publicly silent on the issue, but with several foreign media outlets reporting that the Mossad and IDF intelligence were behind it, and with The Jerusalem Post independently confirming significant aspects of the saga.
