Lebanon rocked by deadly walkie-talkie and pager attacks
What we covered here
Cross-border airstrikes: Israel and Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah exchanged dozens of strikes Thursday as the Israeli military shifts its focus north and expands its war aims.
Wave of explosions: Lebanon is reeling after thousands of small blasts hit Hezbollah’s pagers and walkie-talkies this week, killing dozens and wounding thousands.
What next? Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said Israel “crossed all the red lines” when detonating the explosions and warned that fighting won’t stop on the Lebanese front until hostilities end in Gaza.
Region on the brink: Israel and Hezbollah have been in conflict for decades but the two ramped up cross-border attacks after the war began with Hamas, which Hezbollah supports. This week’s stealth attacks have again pushed them to the brink of a full-scale war.
