'We don’t know if our phones are safe': Lebanon on edge after exploding device attacks

 Lebanon is on edge after thousands of electronic devices exploded across two days

  • "We don’t know if we can stay next to our laptops, our phones," a Lebanese woman tells the BBC

  • On Tuesday, thousands of pagers exploded, before hundreds of walkie-talkies did the same on Wednesday - multiple sources say Israel's Mossad spy agency was targeting Hezbollah members 


    The walkie-talkie blasts killed 20 and injured at least 450; the pager explosions killed 12 and injured more than 2,000

  • Israel has not commented on the blasts, but on Wednesday, Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant announced "a new phase in the war"

  • Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is due to give a televised speech later.
