A preliminary investigation by Lebanese‍ authorities ⁤into the explosions of wireless communication devices in Lebanon has revealed that the devices were rigged with explosives before arriving in the country.

According to a letter⁤ sent to the UN⁢ Security Council, the⁤ devices included pagers and other wireless communication devices ⁣used to send ⁢electronic messages, which triggered the explosions.

Investigation and Aftermath

The ⁢investigation ‌found that ​the devices were detonated by ‍an electronic ⁣message, resulting in attacks ‍that killed 37‍ people and injured ​nearly 3,000.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah ‌admitted that his ​group had suffered ​a “major and unprecedented” blow‌ in its‌ history, threatening Israel with a “severe ⁢reckoning” after allegedly⁢ blowing up ⁢thousands of communications devices.

International Response

The UN ⁢Security Council will ​meet to discuss​ the bombing,‍ which has raised concerns about the escalating conflict in the ⁤region.

Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav​ Galant stated that the ‍new‌ phase of the war against Hezbollah holds great opportunities,⁤ but also entails great risks,‍ stressing the continuation ‌of the “order⁣ of operations.”

Escalating Tensions

He warned that Hezbollah will pay an increasing price as time goes on, ⁢escalating tensions ‍in the⁤ region.
