A fresh wave of explosions ripped across Lebanon on Wednesday afternoon, appearing to mainly target hand-held radios used by Hezbollah members, a day after thousands were wounded when their pagers spontaneously exploded in a coordinated attack widely blamed on Israel after months of cross-border fire.
At least 14 people were killed and at least 450 were wounded in Wednesday’s second wave of blasts, according to Lebanese officials. An Israeli report said Jerusalem believes the death toll to be higher than reported, with Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit hit hard by the two days of attacks.
Explosions were reported Wednesday in phones, solar energy systems and fingerprint reading devices used by the group.
At least one of the blasts took place at a funeral organized by Iran-backed Hezbollah for some of the 12 people killed in the pager explosion attack on Tuesday. An AP photographer in the southern coastal city of Sidon saw a car and a mobile phone shop that were damaged by devices exploding inside of them.
“A number of walkie-talkies exploded in Beirut’s southern suburbs,” a source told Reuters, with Hezbollah-affiliated rescuers confirming devices had exploded inside two cars in the area.

Al Jazeera reported, “Several blasts took place simultaneously, Hashem said, similar to what happened on Tuesday. “But this time, it was mostly walkie-talkies or radios [that exploded],” he said, adding that reports suggested that solar devices >and some batteries in cars< also exploded. Lebanon’s official news agency reported that home solar energy systems exploded in several areas of Beirut.”
Did they also sneak in and switch car batteries?

You dared to strike at a smart and courageous nation on October 7th—committing genocide, kidnapping their children, and violating their women. You thought they would fall, but they rose again, returning after 11 months to correct what had only momentarily slipped—their intelligence.
Now, they will send you back 1,000 years, to a time without technology, where a ringtone feels like a death knell and a beep is a nightmare. You will be haunted by your own shadow, too afraid to use any technology, cut off from the advanced world. And they will defeat you—not with bullets or tanks, but through the unbreakable will of brave, intelligent people. Over a simple cup of coffee, with one decisive click, they will seal your fate, and the fate of anyone who dares harm their children.
This is a nation the world respects. Lebanon—Hezbollah’s pager attacks and today’s V82 strike are not merely military victories; they represent a triumph for the Middle East over radicalism—a victory not only for Israel but for all who stand against terror.
Again, proof positive that Iran and its proxies are being out maneuvered, out fought and out thought by Israel. This is as good or better than blowing up terrorists in Tehran!! Go Israel!
Whoever thought this up is a wartime genius......it’s about time these evil bastards got a taste of their own medicine.
Dang.
You can expect that SOB in the WH to announce more restrictions on supporting Isreal by the end of the week.
I think this is the quintessential FAFO moment.
Now that’s what I call, “Explosive Diarrhea”.
“At least one of the blasts took place at a funeral organized by Iran-backed Hezbollah for some of the 12 people killed in the pager explosion attack on Tuesday.”
Well, that has a certain symmetry to it.
Hah ... replace the azide in their airbags with a shaped charge EFP ...
Of course, if I can think of it so can the folks over there who did the pagers and radios ...
Reach out, reach out and really touch someone.
Taking out solar systems telegraphs a major attack on Lebanon’s electrical grid. Deny any power to Hezbollah before launching a major air and ground operation. They’ve already hit the primary and secondary comms.
Israel has given a new meaning to...
BLOW jobs. ;)
I can hardly wait until tomorrow when Abdul goes to microwave his goat flavored HotPocket and the appliance explodes...
