This occurred just a day after 12 individuals lost their lives and thousands were injured in related incidents. Reports from Lebanese media indicated multiple explosions in Beirut and Dahiyeh, a suburb heavily influenced by Hezbollah. Social media showcased images and videos of significant fires resulting from these blasts, which appeared to be concealed within different devices than the pagers used in Tuesday&#8217;s attacks. One image depicted what seemed to be an exploded walkie-talkie.<\/p>\n<p>According to Axios, citing two sources with knowledge of the situation, numerous Hezbollah walkie-talkies were destroyed across Lebanon. These devices had been pre-rigged with explosives by Israeli intelligence before being delivered to Hezbollah as part of their emergency communication system intended for potential conflict with Israel. Lebanon\u2019s state-run National News Agency reported that three fatalities occurred due to the explosions in Sohmar, located in the Bekaa Valley, suggesting that the detonations extended beyond Beirut. Additionally, at least one person was killed and around 100 others injured elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>A reporter from Al Arabi Network noted that Wednesday&#8217;s explosion count surpassed that of the previous day\u2019s attack; one video captured at least a dozen blasts occurring within a single apartment building. Multiple explosions were also reported from another building in Beirut today.<\/p>\n<p>Another video showed an explosion erupting inside a cellphone store, igniting its contents dramatically. The destruction caused by these latest blasts appeared more severe than those on Tuesday; they resulted in fires within apartments and damaged at least one vehicle.
