At least nine people have been killed and over 300 injured following a series of explosions involving walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon. The blasts occurred during a funeral and in several homes and vehicles, causing widespread damage. According to reports from Arab media, the capital, Beirut, was hit by multiple explosions in rapid succession, igniting fires in homes, vehicles, and at the funeral site.
There are growing concerns that the death toll could rise due to the critical condition of many of the injured. Hospitals have initiated emergency procedures, and ambulances have been seen speeding through the streets as the situation unfolds.
The Lebanese government and Hezbollah have placed responsibility for the explosions on Israel, though Israel has neither confirmed nor denied any involvement.
