Home solar energy systems and other electronics systems exploded in multiple Beirut neighborhoods and elsewhere in southern Lebanon on Wednesday. The explosions occurred within minutes of a second cyber attack that caused Hezbollah’s emergency communications devices to blow up.

Explosions also took place among terrorists attending the funeral of the son of Hezbollah Parliament Member Ali Ammar. The younger Ammar was one of a dozen people killed by exploding Hezbollah-issued pagers on Tuesday in an attack that left around 3,000 terrorists injured throughout Lebanon and in some areas in Syria.
“The General Directorate of Civil Defense announced that its personnel are working to extinguish fires that broke out inside homes, cars and shops in the Beka’a, the South, Mount Lebanon and the southern suburbs,” Lebanon’s official National News Agency reported Wednesday evening.
“Ambulances are working to transport the wounded to hospitals as a result of the security incident that affected several Lebanese regions,” the news agency added.

At least nine people have reportedly been killed and more than 300 others injured in Wednesday’s attack, the second such incident in as many days, Lebanon’s Health Ministry told reporters.

Hezbollah operatives were seen gathering up all the walkie talkies and taking the batteries out of the devices held by those attending funerals in Beirut for those killed Tuesday, Sky News reported.
One day earlier, thousands of Hezbollah-issued pagers exploded simultaneously throughout Lebanon and Syria, killing a dozen people and wounding thousands of terrorists. It is widely believed that Israel was behind the attacks, although the Jerusalem government has not commented.
During a visit to Washington DC in June, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that Israel could take Lebanon “back to the Stone Age” but said the Netanyahu government preferred a diplomatic solution to the conflict.
Hezbollah continued to escalate its attacks, however, firing ceaseless daily barrages of rockets, missiles and explosive drone on Israeli communities across the border. The attacks from Lebanon began on October 8, 2023, the day after its fellow Iranian proxy, Hamas, invaded the Jewish State, slaughtering more than a thousand people and dragging 251 others into Gaza as hostages.
