YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe 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
Yet some civilians were hurt as the devices exploded in supermarkets and homes, and two children were among the 12 people killed, according to Lebanese officials. Israel neither confirmed nor denied responsibility, and its officials are refusing to speak about the incident — which is often the case when its intelligence services are blamed for attacks on the country’s enemies.
