0:54Now Playing#Iran-backed #Hezbollah accused #Israel of orchestrating an attack that killed several people and left nearly 3,000 wounded across #Lebanon, increasing fears of an all-out war. Israel didn’t comment on Tuesday’s events, which left hundreds of members of the Hezbollah militant group injured. The two sides have exchanged fire on a near-daily basis for much of the past year, with tensions rising over the past several weeks. #politics #worldnews
A string of medical emergencies were reported after the mysterious explosion of thousands of pagers used by #Lebanese people, including members of the militant group, on Tuesday afternoon. The wireless devices likely overheated before the blasts took place, indicating “foul play,” Lebanon’s Telecommunications Minister Johnny Corm told #Bloomberg. Hezbollah and Lebanon’s government were both quick to describe the events as an Israeli attack, with the former vowing to respond. #Oil prices rose on traders’ fears the deadly blasts would reignite #geopolitical tensions.
