Lebanon Declares War Following Explosions

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has declared a state of war against Israel following a series of deadly explosions attributed to Israeli intelligence, particularly Mossad, which he labeled as a 'massacre' and 'sheer terrorism'. The attacks involved the simultaneous detonation of thousands of pagers across Lebanon, resulting in at least 37 deaths and thousands of injuries, with significant civilian casualties reported. Lebanese Health Minister Dr. Firass Abiad expressed concerns that the conflict could escalate into a regional war, as heavy bombardments continue from both Israel and Hezbollah. Nasrallah emphasized that this incident marks a severe humanitarian blow to Hezbollah, as the operation crossed all red lines concerning civilian safety. Despite Israel not claiming responsibility, various sources have implicated Mossad in orchestrating these attacks. The situation poses a critical threat to regional stability, with both sides bracing for potential retaliation and further conflict.
