Explosions in Lebanon Targeting Hezbollah’s Communication Devices
World News Update: Following two waves of explosions targeting Hezbollah’s communication devices in Lebanon, the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, is expected to deliver a major speech on Thursday. After Tuesday’s blasts, the group said it would continue its operations to support Gaza. The explosive attacks, believed to be orchestrated by Israel, have resulted in civilian casualties, including two children.
The explosions on Tuesday and Wednesday have killed and wounded many individuals in Lebanon. Japanese firm Icom has confirmed that the models of two-way radios reportedly used in the blasts are no longer in production.
More than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 100,000 wounded in Israel’s war in Gaza. The recent October 7 attacks resulted in the deaths of over 1,190 people, mostly civilians. The Lebanese ambassador to the UK has condemned the attacks as part of Israel’s warfare tactics.
On a global scale, Chinese President Xi Jinping and other world leaders are opting out of the UN General Assembly, with Germany halting weapons export licenses to Israel. Flooding across several European countries has resulted in over 20 fatalities, displacing thousands more.
