ALERT: Hezbollah Targeted in Second Wave of Explosions, at Least 9 ******* and 300 Injured

BEIRUT (AP) – Explosions went off in Beirut and multiple parts of Lebanon in an apparent second wave of detonations of electronic devices, Hezbollah officials and state media said Wednesday, reporting walkie-talkies and even solar equipment being targeted a day after hundreds of pagers blew up. At least nine people were ******* and 300 were wounded, the Health Ministry said. 

Several blasts were heard at the ******** in Beirut for three Hezbollah members and a child ******* by exploding pagers the day before, according to Associated Press journalists at the scene. An AP photographer in the southern coastal city of Sidon saw a car and a mobile phone shop damaged after devices exploded inside of them.

A Hezbollah official told the AP that walkie-talkies used by the group exploded. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Lebanon’s official news agency reports that solar energy systems exploded in homes in several areas of Beirut and in southern Lebanon, wounding at least one girl. 

The new blasts hit a country still thrown into confusion and anger after Tuesday’s pager bombings, which appeared to be a complex ******** ******* targeting Hezbollah members that caused civilian casualties, too.  

In the first wave of bombings, it appeared that small amounts of explosives had been hidden in the thousands of pagers delivered to Hezbollah and remotely detonated. The reports of further electronic devices exploding suggested even greater infiltration of boobytraps into Lebanon’s supply chain.
