Lebanon: Hezbollah is facing a major crisis after a series of deadly explosions in Lebanon. The blasts killed 20 people and injured over 450 others. This happened just hours before a speech by their leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
The recent explosions followed another incident a day earlier that killed 12 people and injured nearly 2,800. These blasts involved devices used by Hezbollah members and occurred in key areas like Beirut and southern Lebanon. Eyewitnesses reported chaos as people ran for safety during a funeral.
As tensions rise, Israel has not directly commented on the attacks but has signaled a focus on Hezbollah amid ongoing conflict with Hamas. Analysts warn that these events could lead to a full-scale war.
In response to the violence, diplomats from the U.S., U.K., and other countries will meet in Paris to discuss the situation. The U.N. has called the attacks shocking and urged all sides to show restraint. With fears of a wider conflict increasing, flights to and from major cities in the region have been suspended.
