Israel reportedly escalated its military actions against the Lebanon by targeting Hezbollah with an additional salvo of exploding devices on Wednesday.
The group’s walkie-talkies detonated in homes, vehicles, and the hands of operatives throughout the nation, according to sources familiar with the situation.
This occurred just one day after thousands of pagers carried by Hezbollah members exploded at approximately the same time.
The new attack killed 14 people and injured more than 450, after Tuesday’s bombings killed 12 and injured more than 2,800 people.

The militant group was in a state of panic as they attempted to evaluate the nature and severity of the explosions that occurred over the course of two days.
The investigations into Tuesday’s massive attack have revealed that Israel executed a highly intricate plan.
This plan involved the planting of explosives in thousands of devices that were intended for Hezbollah members, and the subsequent detonation of the devices by a remote signal.
The Lebanese border has experienced an increase in tension in recent months, as evidenced by more aggressive Israeli operations and heavier exchanges of fire compared to earlier months.
The Israeli government is facing increasing pressure to permit the return of residents of evacuated northern communities.
According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, the Israeli military has relocated thousands of commando and paratrooper soldiers from the southern region to the northern region of Israel, following months of operations in Gaza.
The explosions on Wednesday, similar to those that occurred on Tuesday, were spread throughout the nation, further exacerbating the scope of an attack that was already unprecedented.
Israel has been criticized for inciting a series of untargeted explosions that endanger civilians.
The attacks that occurred on Tuesday resulted in the overcrowding of numerous hospital emergency rooms and the loss of two children.
