Hezbollah confirms 20 casualties in its ranks after second wave of aircraft explosions

The Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah confirmed 20 new casualties in its ranks early Thursday morning, after a second wave of explosions in communication equipment shook several points in Lebanon controlled by the terrorist organization, armed and sponsored by Iran.

In a series of statements, Hezbollah confirmed the deaths of around twenty of its members from different parts of the country, mainly from the southern region and the eastern Bekaa Valley, and also including a minor it identified as having been born in 2008.

The Shiite terrorist group did not provide details about the circumstances of their deaths, as is customary, but the number of casualties is believed to correspond to the official number of deaths caused by explosions in radio and communication equipment provided by the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.

According to the latest figures released by the government department, Wednesday's incidents caused 20 deaths and more than 450 injuries in various parts of the country.

All this happened just 24 hours after a first wave of explosions on pagers carried out by Hezbollah members left another twelve dead, including two children, and some 2.800 wounded, including civilians, according to the Lebanese Minister of Public Health, Firas Abiad.

The Lebanese terrorist group has yet to comment on the latest round of explosions, after blaming the first one on Israel, with whom it has been engaged in an intense crossfire for almost a year in the framework of the Gaza war.

The leader of the Shiite terrorist group, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, is to give a televised speech on Thursday at around 17.00:14.00 p.m. local time (XNUMX:XNUMX GMT), the first since the events, and amid renewed fears of the outbreak of an open war between Hezbollah and the Jewish State.
