Lebanon Update: Latest News Following Attacks
BREAKING NEWS! Israel targets Hezbollah with pager explosion in Lebanon
The latest situation in Lebanon has been shaken by two recent attacks carried out by Israel against Hezbollah using pager explosions. In an interview with CNN TÜRK, Mehmet Simsek spoke with Ali Hamiye to get insights on the current state of affairs in Lebanon after these attacks.
Hamiye expressed confidence that the Lebanese people are resilient and prepared to face Israeli aggression. He revealed that the devices targeted by Israel were being used by doctors, farmers, and other civilians for the past five months. These devices, which do not have Bluetooth or internet connection, were suddenly interfered with via radio frequency, causing them to explode.
When questioned about the origin of the operation, Hamiye dismissed the notion of cyber warfare and emphasized that Israel would not have been able to carry out the attacks without American assistance. He also raised the question of why Israel had waited until now to act if they possessed such capabilities.
Regarding the psychological impact on the Lebanese people, Hamiye acknowledged that while there is caution, the attacks have not instilled fear among the population. However, as a precaution, all the devices have been destroyed in certain locations.
Looking ahead, Hamiye asserted that Hezbollah will retaliate against Israel for these attacks, signaling a potential escalation in tensions between the two parties. Israel’s actions have been seen as a significant military and intelligence strike, prompting expectations for a strong response from Hezbollah in the near future.
In conclusion, the situation in Lebanon remains tense as both sides brace for potential retaliation and further developments in the ongoing conflict. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
