0:33Now PlayingLebanon was hit with a fresh wave of exploding telecommunications devices including walkie talkies a day after 12 people were killed and thousands injured in a series of similar blasts.
Scores of people were wounded on Wednesday in the eastern Bekaa area and in a southern town as well as Beirut’s suburbs, state-run National News Agency reported. The fresh wave coincided with several funerals organized by the militant group Hezbollah for members killed in the initial attack the previous day, with hundreds of people taking part in the processions.
The audacious attack in #Lebanon that saw thousands of people injured and some killed when their #pagers exploded has increased the tension between #Israel and militant group #Hezbollah, which vowed to retaliate. Hezbollah, the #Lebanese government and Iran all blamed Israel for the near-simultaneous blasts on Tuesday afternoon. Many of those injured were members of the #Tehran -backed organization, which has been trading cross-border fire with Israel for almost a year. #worldnews #politics
