A day after thusands of pagers used by Hezbollah operatves exploded in Lebanon, walki-talkies and other devices used by the group exploded in the country on Wednesday
In response to Israel's next-level warfare, Hezbollah changed its tactics. Cell phones, which may trace a user's location, have been prohibited on the battlefield instead more old-fashioned methods such as pagers and couriers are being used.
In a statement earlier on Tuesday, Hezbollah said that "pagers belonging to employees of various Hezbollah units and institutions exploded," killing two of its fighters and a girl. The group further said that it was investigating to determine the causes of the explosions.
On the condition of anonymity, a Hezbollah terrorist holding an official post in the terror organisation, said that the detonation of the pagers was the "biggest security breach" the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel.
Adressing a press conference here on Tuesday, Blinken said that US President Joe Biden will visit Israel on Wednesday at a time when the country is facing its toughest battle with the terrorist group Hamas.
"A short while ago, the IAF struck terror targets and military infrastructure of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon, in response to fire yesterday (Monday) towards Israel", they wrote on X.
Notably, on Sunday morning, six anti-tank guided missiles were fired toward an Israeli town and military outposts near the Lebanon border, killing at least one civilian, according to The Times of Israel.
