Attacks using devices shake Lebanon

The recent explosion of communication devices in Lebanon, allegedly carried out by Israel, has left at least 37 people dead and nearly 3,000 injured. The attacks targeted devices owned by Hezbollah, a militant group and political party in Lebanon. Hospitals in the country are overwhelmed with patients suffering from severe injuries to their hands and eyes. Medical professionals describe the injuries as unprecedented in scale and severity. Amid fears of retaliation by Hezbollah, the streets of Beirut are filled with panic and uncertainty. The Lebanese government has called for UN intervention to stop what they describe as Israeli aggression. The attacks have triggered criticism from human rights organizations and former CIA officials. The targeting of civilians and combatants indiscriminately with communication devices could be a violation of international law. The atmosphere in Beirut is tense, as people are on edge and concerned about the possibility of further attacks. The explosions have also brought back painful memories of the 2020 Beirut port explosion. The Israeli government has not responded to requests for comment on the attacks. The situation in Lebanon remains volatile as the nation grapples with the aftermath of the explosions and the potential for further violence.
