The explosions came a day after an apparent Israeli attack targeting pagers used by Hezbollah killed at least 12 and wounded nearly 3,000.
Associated Press journalists reported multiple explosions at the site of a Beirut funeral for three Hezbollah members and a child killed by exploding pagers the day before.
Hezbollah’s Al Manar TV reported explosions in multiple areas of Lebanon, and a Hezbollah official told the AP that walkie-talkies used by the group exploded in Beirut. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Hezbollah began striking Israel almost immediately after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack that sparked the Israel-Hamas war. Since then, Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged fire daily, coming close to a full-blown war on several occasions and forcing tens of thousands on both sides of the border to evacuate their homes.
Gaza’s Health Ministry says more than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed in the territory since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. The ministry does not differentiate between fighters and civilians in its count but says a little over half of those killed were women and children. Israel says it has killed over 17,000 militants, without providing evidence.

On OCT 8, the day after the terrorist pogrom by Iran-sponsored Hamas, Hez in Lebanon began an unprovoked attack on Israel using drones and missiles. It was their choice. Hez has s b ot 2,500+ missiles and drones at Israel since then. 100,000 Israelis have had to move from North Israel due to Hez attacks. And NOW they are BellyAching? DOWN WITH HEZ!
Israel! Keep up the great work, on behalf of your people and the entire peace loving people of the world
Too bad, so sad….NOT.
Tomorrow make alarm clocks explode.(:.
In any case since they are so afraid of communicating with each other, it seems to be the best time to attack them and win. Just remind them about any electronic devices they may be using to scare them.
There are also many non Hasidic Jews who demonstrate with these terrorist they just aren’t so noticeable.
According to some news reports some of the wounded have been transferred to Iran for medical care.
Both sides have to tone down the inflammatory rhetoric. Israel must give away more strategic land to the Palestinian terrorists.
