Another series of explosions occurred in Lebanon this week, the second time targeting handheld radios used by Hezbollah. Security sources and officials say at least 14 people died and another 450 were wounded after the handheld radios started exploding suddenly all throughout the capital city of Beirut, as well as in southern Lebanon near the border with Israel. The first such attack targeted pagers, killing at least 12 people and injuring another 2,800. In the second attack, it was the personal talking radios used by Hezbollah militants that exploded without warning. According to reports, the handheld radios were ordered about five months ago, right around the time that the pagers were ordered. Several solar systems also exploded in Beirut and in southern Lebanon around the same time. Hezbollah is blaming Israel for all of these deadly incidents.

More dead civilians

Though Hezbollah soldiers appear to have been the main targets in these attacks, some civilians also got caught in the fray, including two children who died from the blasts. Israeli agents, sources are reporting, detonated all remaining booby-trapped devices in the aftermath of the first series of pager explosions because Israel believes that Hezbollah would have found and disposed of them. The pagers, known as AR-924, were all manufactured, allegedly, in Budapest by a company called BAC that had licensed the name of Gold Apollo, a Taiwan electronics manufacturer. There remains confusion as to who is actually responsible for producing the deadly pagers. Hungarian officials say that there is no such pager manufacturing facility anywhere in the country, shifting the blame back to Gold Apollo which is also denying that it manufactured the pagers. "Authorities have confirmed that the company in question is a trading intermediary, with no manufacturing or operational site in Hungary," Hungarian government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs said in a statement. "The referenced devices have never been in Hungary." The general consensus seems to be that Israel intercepted the devices after they were manufactured somewhere and laced them with explosive material before they were shipped off to their final destination in Lebanon. The explosive material in question was implanted next to the devices' batteries. A remote trigger was then used to flip a switch and cause the devices to explode on demand. After the attack, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that Hezbollah fired 10 rockets across the border into northern Israel, possibly as part of its promised retaliation for the attacks. "The resistance will continue today, like any other day, its operations to support Gaza, its people and its resistance which is a separate path from the harsh punishment that the criminal enemy (Israel) should await in response to Tuesday's massacre," reads a statement from Hezbollah. "This is another reckoning that will come, God willing." An even more ominous warning came from Hashim Safi Al Din, a top Hezbollah official and relative of Hassan Hasrallah: "These attacks will certainly be uniquely punished; there will be a bloodily unique revenge." In the comments, someone expressed concerns about other consumer products and the risks involved to the general public of electronic devices being laced with deadly explosives. "Hope our military leaders are considering the implications of Chinese-made electronics in the possession of our military forces after seeing this happen," this person said. "Just the tip of the iceberg." Another wrote that this is similar to what the CIA did to Iraq just before the war when it had a company sell computer systems for air-defense systems that automatically add a few degrees to the trajectory of missiles and rockets, "leaving the Iraq army wondering why they kept missing the U.S. planes." Israel is playing with fire as it continues to try to play God on the world stage. Learn more at Prophecy.news. Sources for this article include: NYPost.com NaturalNews.com
