The moment Israel’s walkie-talkie booby-traps brought second day of fear to Lebanon: Videos show near-simultaneous explosions, with bomb at pager victim’s funeral, plus cars and buildings blasted
The world was still wondering how Hezbollah pagers could be rigged with explosives and detonated when radios began blowing up yesterday afternoon.
As hospitals in Lebanon struggled to contain the death toll from thousands of explosions across the country on Tuesday, a second horrific event broke out in 24 hours.
Footage shows walkie-talkies and solar equipment suddenly exploding around 3 p.m. A second deadly attack leaves at least 20 people dead and more than 450 injured.
As Hezbollah held a funeral procession for the victims of Tuesday’s attack, terrifying screams were heard and explosions rang out from exploding bombs.
Chaotic scenes in the cities saw smoke billowing from apartment blocks and cars going up in flames as people fled amid loud bangs.
As emergency services rushed to contain the damage in Lebanon, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced that a new phase in the war had begun.
He made no mention of the explosives exploding, but praised the work of the Israeli army and security services, saying that “the results are very impressive.”
As the situation in the Middle East teeters on a knife edge, MailOnline shows how the second wave of explosions in Lebanon unfolded.
