Israel has announced that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will shift its focus to the northern front with Lebanon following explosions in Beirut. Hashim Safi Al Din, the Hezbollah deputy secretary general, has threatened a “unique and bloody vengeance” after multiple explosions in Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon, resulting in casualties and injuries. Lebanon is pointing fingers at Israel and Mossad, its spy agency, for the blasts, which Hezbollah has labeled as “criminal aggression.” Reports suggest that Mossad planted explosives inside pagers imported by Hezbollah, with hand-held radios being used to hide and detonate the explosives. The death toll from the blasts has risen, including casualties and injuries among Hezbollah fighters and Iran’s envoy to Beirut. The situation remains tense, with Hezbollah warning of retaliation and Israel yet to comment on the incidents.
