BEIRUT (AP) — Walkie-talkies exploded in Beirut and other parts of Lebanon on
Wednesday in a second wave of attacks targeting devices a day after pagers used
by Hezbollah blew up, state media and officials for the militant group said. At
least 20 people were killed and more than 450 wounded in the second wave, the
Health Ministry said.
The attacks — which were widely believed to be carried out by Israel targeting
Hezbollah but have also killed civilians — have hiked fears that the two sides’
simmering conflict could escalate into all-out war.
Speaking to Israeli troops on Wednesday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant
said, “We are at the start of a new phase in the war — it requires courage,
determination and perseverance.” He made no mention of the exploding devices but
praised the work of Israel’s army and security agencies, saying “the results are
very impressive.”
In Wednesday’s attacks, several blasts were heard at a funeral in Beirut for
three Hezbollah members and a child killed by exploding pagers the day before,
according to Associated Press journalists at the scene. An AP photographer in
the southern coastal city of Sidon saw a car and a mobile phone shop damaged
after devices exploded inside of them. The state news agency reported home solar
energy system blowing up in several locations, but experts cast doubt on whether
those incidents were connected, saying they may have been coincidental
accidents.

The new blasts hit a country still roiling with confusion and anger after
Tuesday’s pager bombings, which killed at least 12 people, including two
children, and wounded some 2,800 others.
The second wave also deepens concern over the potentially indiscriminate
casualties caused in the attacks, in which hundreds of blasts went off wherever
the holder of the pager happened to be — in homes, cars, at grocery stores and
in cafes, often with family or bystanders nearby.
While the pagers were used by Hezbollah members, there was no guarantee who was
holding the device at the time it was detonated. Also, many of the casualties
were not Hezbollah fighters, but members of the group’s extensive civilian
operations mainly serving Lebanon’s Shiite community.
At least two health workers were among those killed Tuesday. Doctors, nurses,
paramedics, charity workers, teachers and office administrators work for
Hezbollah-linked organizations, and an unknown number had pagers.

AP AUDIO: MYSTERY OVER EXPLODING HEZBOLLAH PAGERS STRETCHES FROM ISRAEL TO

AP correspondent Ben Thomas reports a source tells the AP that Israel briefed
the U.S. on the exploding pagers after they went off.
Mary Ellen O’Connell, a professor of law and international peace studies at the
University of Notre Dame in Indiana, said booby-traps are banned under
international law. “Weaponizing an object used by civilians is strictly
prohibited,” she said.

The U.N. human rights chief, Volker Türk, called for an independent
investigation into the mass explosions, saying, “The fear and terror unleashed
is profound.”
The U.N. Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting on the explosions in
Lebanon on Friday afternoon at the request of Algeria, the Arab representative
on the powerful 15-member body.
Iran-backed Hezbollah — Lebanon’s strongest armed force — has exchanged fire
with Israel’s military almost daily since Oct. 8, the day after a deadly
Hamas-led assault in southern Israel triggered the war in Gaza. Since then,
hundreds have been killed in strikes in Lebanon and dozens in Israel, while tens
of thousands on each side of the border have been displaced. Hezbollah said its
strikes are in support of its ally, Hamas.
Hezbollah announced three strikes on parts of northern Israel Wednesday, at
least one of which took place after the latest round of explosions in Lebanon.
Israeli leaders have issued a series of warnings in recent weeks that they might
increase operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, saying they must stop the
exchange of fire to allow people to return to homes near the border. Israel
began moving more troops to its border with Lebanon on Wednesday as a
precautionary measure, according to an official with knowledge of the movements
who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to
the media.

In his comments, Gallant said that after months of fighting Hamas in Gaza, “the
center of gravity is shifting to the north by diverting resources and forces.”
As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu huddled with top security officials at
Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv, the country’s army chief, Lt. Gen.
Herzi Halevi, said plans have been drawn up for additional action against
Hezbollah. Israeli media say the government has not yet decided whether to
launch a major offensive in Lebanon.
Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, is expected to deliver a major speech on
Thursday.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. is still assessing how the
attacks in Lebanon could affect efforts to negotiate a cease-fire in the
Israel-Hamas war.
The pager bombings appeared to be a complex operation months in the making, with
many experts believing Israel infiltrated the supply chain and rigged hundreds
of pagers with explosives before they were imported to Lebanon. But little
evidence has emerged so far.
Gold Apollo, a Taiwanese firm, said it authorized a Hungary-based company, BAC
Consulting KFT, to use its name on devices delivered to Hezbollah. But a
Hungarian government spokesman said Wednesday the pagers delivered to Hezbollah
were never in Hungary and that BAC Consultants merely acted as an intermediary.
Hungarian national security services were cooperating with international
partners, the Hungarian spokesman, Zoltán Kovács, posted Wednesday on X.

Wednesday’s new bombings came as Lebanese were mourning the dead from the day
before.
Two explosions went off at the edges of the funeral of two fighters, a young boy
and a paramedic in southern Beirut. As ambulances screeched to the scene, the
ceremony continued, with a senior Hezbollah official, Hashem Safieddine, telling
mourners that Israel’s “aggression will face its special punishment.”
Israeli drones buzzed overhead – as they do often over Beirut and many parts of
Lebanon – as thousands of mourners marched in a procession with the four coffins
to a cemetery.
“We will not despair and we will not surrender. We will continue as long as
blood circulates in our veins,” said one woman, who identified herself as Um
Hussein, as she stood outside the cemetery with her four children.
In the village of Nabi Sheet in the Bekaa Valley, dozens gathered to mourn
9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, another victim of the pagers. Her mother, wearing
black and donning a yellow Hezbollah scarf, wept alongside other women and
children as they gathered around the little girl’s coffin before her burial.
