Footage continues to come in showing the power and devastation caused by a second wave of explosives detonating throughout Lebanon, this time reportedly of walkie talkies as well as pagers.
Multiple explosions are being reported throughout Beirut today (Thursday), with multiple cars, motorcycles and pagers and walkie-talkies detonating en masse.
There are no reports of casualties, yet, though the previous round of explosions yesterday resulted in almost 3,000 wounded and 12 dead.
One of the explosions took place at a funeral for one of the victims of the mass pager explosion yesterday. Watch:
The government approved the returning of northern residents to their homes as one of Israel's war aims a few days ago, greatly increasing the possibility of war in the near future.
The IDF announced that the ceremony meant to commemorate the fallen of the Golani Brigade today is cancelled and will be held at another time, due to "operational reasons."
This announcement comes as the 98th Division is being transferred from the Gaza area to the north, as the mass beeper explosion has greatly escalated tensions with Hezbollah.
Defense Minister Gallant has already held a situational assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and the IDF Spokesperson has said that at least for now, there are no new instructions in terms of civilian defense or sheltering.
As of this reporting, the Israeli government has made no official statement regarding either wave of explosions.
