Practice Makes Perfect: Hundreds More Wounded as Hezbollah Radios Explode

Targeted personnel bombings were reported for the second time in as many days on Wednesday in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahieh, and elsewhere around Lebanon. At least 500 have been injured, and five were killed, according to Israel’s Channel 13 News.

The timing of the explosions took place during the funerals for the son of Hezbollah Parliament Member Ali Ammar and several others who were killed Tuesday when their Hezbollah-issued pagers exploded.

Axios journalist Barak Ravid reported “thousands” of personal radios (Walkie-Talkies) blew up in what he called a “second wave of its intelligence operation which started on Tuesday with the explosions of Hezbollah pager devices, per two sources with knowledge.”

The explosions were heard around 5 pm Wednesday in Dahieh and in other suburbs of southern Beirut, as well as in the Beka’a Valley and elsewhere in southern Lebanon, including Natabieh and Sarafand.

This second round of exploding devices apparently affected radio communication-type “walkie-talkies”.

The devices were hand-held radios that were part of the terrorist army’s emergency communications system that was used as a backup following Tuesday’s sabotage, according to Fox News, which reported “dozens of explosions,” including several at funerals held for the terrorists killed Tuesday.

“These are radios, hand-held radios that presumably would be held to someone’s head trying to communicate, part of Hezbollah’s emergency communications systems,” Fox News reported.

The devices were reportedly purchased five months ago by Hezbollah, at the same the terror group purchased the thousands of pagers that exploded on Tuesday.

More than 3,000 terrorist operatives were injured in Tuesday’s simultaneous pager explosions throughout Lebanon and Syria. At least 12 others were killed.
