As of 10:56 AM EDT on 18 September, numerous reports are flooding-in, saying electronic devices are AGAIN exploding in Beirut, and throughout other areas of Lebanon. It __appears__ this may be a "Round 2" of Israeli attack.
What makes these reports different from yesterday is that they are saying "electronic DEVICES"" (not necessarily just pocket-pagers) are exploding all over the city.
More info as I get it.
UPDATE 11:03 AM EDT --
Apparently, many of the devices exploding were left at home and in cars. Buildings and cars throughout Beirut are now erupting in fires after the devices explode:
Info coming in now points to WALKIE-TALKIES among the devices being detonated!!!!!
CONTEXT:
It is important to make clear the following:
The pagers that exploded in Lebanon were not solely used by Hezbollah resistance fighters; employees of Hezbollah's institutions, which include civilians, also used them.
It's important to note that Hezbollah is a political party (part of the Lebanese government) and it operates various civilian institutions, such as schools, hospitals, and media outlets.
Consequently, this attack did not target soldiers exclusively, but civilians as well.
Moreover, there are reports that some individuals purchased and used these pagers, USED, from the market, further highlighting that this was an indiscriminate attack, not limited to military personnel.
