Booby-trapped devices smuggled in before deadly explosions: Lebanon UN mission

In a startling revelation, Lebanon's mission to the United Nations reported that the telecommunication devices involved in recent deadly explosions were "booby-trapped" before entering the country. The blasts, which occurred this week, resulted in the deaths of 37 people and injured over 3,000, primarily targeting Hezbollah members during everyday activities. Initial investigations indicated that the devices were rigged to detonate via email, prompting outrage and accusations against Israel for conducting electronic warfare. Lebanon condemned the attacks as "unprecedented in its brutality" and called for international condemnation during an emergency UN session. The already heightened tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have escalated since the conflict in Gaza began, raising fears of a broader confrontation as both sides engage in retaliatory strikes. #Lebanon #Hezbollah #IDF #Israel #Explosions #BoobyTrapped #Tensions #MiddleEast #GazaConflict #MilitaryOperations #ElectronicWarfare #UNSecurityCouncil #Retaliation #Crisis #WarNews
