A blast went off in southern Lebanon, near the city of Tyre, late on Sunday night, Al-Arabiya reported, based on local media sources.
The blast reportedly occurred after an electronic device exploded in the area.
The Lebanese Future TV network said that an “Israeli aircraft might have detonated an electronic transmission device” in the southern area of al-Fawwar.
“Hizbullah has cordoned off the area,” Future TV added.
The official Lebanese NNA news agency claimed that “Israeli aircraft did not leave the Lebanese airspace over the South all through the day.”
Israel’s Channel 2 News, reporting on the explosion, cited a report from the Hizbullah-affiliated Al-Manar network which said that the explosion was caused by a stun grenade and not by an airstrike.
The IDF chose not to comment on the reports, according to Channel 2.
Reports of the explosion in Tyre come several hours after Lebanese media reported that Israeli war planes were spotted in the skies above southern Lebanon.
It appeared the pilots were rehearsing attacks on targets in the region, local sources told media outlets.

But the sword that pierced Yeshua is still in Salzburg, Austria.
Burning a Tyre contributes to global warming.
I have heard that the English word ‘tired’ originates from the name of this town in the Lebanese language.
Literally? This is the first I have heard this.
But I have heard that enough monasteries in that hemisphere have enough bones of John the Baptist to build four and a half men.
Pergamos/Bergama was a "neokoros". Looks like it was eager to guzzle the Imperial Kool-aid:
In the Roman period, Pergamum became the capital of Asia, as the first city to make an alliance with Rome. Ephesus became the capital of the province, but scholars have argued that this city remained the focal point of the worship of the Roman Emperors. The city lost its great library to Alexandria when Mark Antony gave it to Cleopatra. The famous physician Galen, who served the emperors Marcus Aurelius, Commodus, and Septimius Severus, was born here in 129 CE.
The religious life of Pergamum has been the subject of much research by scholars and historians. Three specific “threads” appear to be visible. First, the association with the worship of snakes and the handling of reptiles in antiquity appears valid. Other early signs of the worship of Dionysus, the god of vegetation also appears to be well accepted. Later, worship of Asklepios (Roman Aesculapius) the god of healing emerged. The serpent became the emblem of Asklepios. “A Pergamene coin shows the emperor Caracalla standing spear in hand before a great serpent twined around a bending sapling…. Christians must thus have found the cult of the god of healing, and his serpent – infested temple, peculiarly revolting” (Blaiklock, Ibid.). The altar of Zeus built by Eumenes II to commemorate the victory of Attalus I over the Gallic invaders had striking pagan scenes on the frieze. The gods of Olympus were represented as giants with serpent – like tails. Zeus was called “saviour”.
The second association was dominant in the Hellenistic kingdom. This included the worship of Zeus and the goddess Athene. Finally, the Imperial Cult flourished in the city, making it a “neokoros” or temple guardian for the Roman Imperial cult. The first temple in Asia was erected to Augustus in 29BCE. Other temples were later erected to honor Trajan and Caracalla. It was Emperor Domitian who made these temples a litmus test for civic loyalty.

And relics are a mark of humanist worship, not Christian for sure.
Yes, literally.
Electronic device = Electrical device = transformer.
Need to see Arabic to be sure.
Actually, not everyone doesn’t know the difference between veneration and “humanist worship”, but, whatever makes you snicker may work for you. Or, not.
Electronic devices explode when they are connected to cell phones and explosives. Perhaps the Israelis called the right number.

During Hiram’s reign, Tyre grew from a satellite of Sidon into the most important of Phoenician cities, and the holder of a large trading empire.
Hiram sent Solomon architects, workmen, cedar wood and gold to build the First Temple in Jerusalem.
Reports of northern Israeli’s being told to take shelter were coming from several FB and Twitter accounts. There are also tweets coming out that there are breaking problems with Iran’s Republican guard and of more explosions, a major highway being blocked in Israel.
This is symbolic for the ongoing collapse of the satanic plan of cordon of Shi’a puppets from the Iran-Afghanistan border to the Mediterranean (Ira’s Ahamdinejad, Iraq’s Maliki, Syria’s Assad and Lebanon’s Hizbollah).
A plan that included the extermination of millions of christians and the last jews in that area.
Thanks for that info. After reading a bit I found you can see the remnants of the causeway on google maps, a long linear feature just to the north of the Roman stadium ruins.
It only takes a 1/4 amp to detonate an electric blasting cap. Would not be surprised if this was targeted at a suspected or known bomb making location.
I doubt the Jihadists trust the martyrs to prime their own shots.
Interesting idea and nice catch.
Hey Ahmad, watch this shiite.
Duh, yup.
Good call, no they don't. In fact it is common to have a cellphone backup trigger on suicide vests in case the Jihadi gets cold feet.
Yes, particularly in the books of prophecy.
