ai generated text
The attacks targeted handheld radios and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah members, with the first wave killing at least 12 people and wounding nearly 3,000, and the second wave killing at least 14 people and injuring over 450. The devices used in the attacks were larger and heavier than the pagers used in the first wave, and were nearly three times heavier. Hezbollah blamed Israel for the attacks, with Iran accusing Israel of "mass murder". The Israeli government has not officially confirmed involvement in the attacks, but has announced a "new phase in the war" against Hezbollah.

A number of walkie-talkies exploded in Beirut's southern suburbs.

For decades, Hezbollah has weaponized civilian homes, dug tunnels beneath them, and used civilians as human shields.
The army is currently striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon to degrade Hezbollah's terrorist capabilities and infrastructure.
With the direction of IDF intelligence, the IAF struck approximately 30 Hezbollah launchers and terrorist infrastructure sites, containing approximately 150 launcher barrels that were ready to fire projectiles toward Israeli territory.
IDF operations in the southern and northern arenas, focusing on Israel's defense against Hezbollah threats.
We have many capabilities that we have not yet activated.
At each stage, the price for Hezbollah needs to be high.
The center of gravity is moving northward. Resources are being allocated (to this front).
