The world was still asking how pagers belonging to Hezbollah could have been fixed with explosives and detonated when radios began to explode yesterday afternoon.
As hospitals in Lebanon wrestled to limit the casualties from thousands of explosions across the country on Tuesday, horror erupted for a second time within 24 hours.
Video showed how walkie-talkies and solar equipment exploded suddenly around 3pm, killing at least 20 and wounding more than 450 in a deadly second bout.
As Hezbollah held a funeral procession for the victims of Tuesday’s attack, horrifying screams could be heard as blasts rang out from exploding devices.
Chaotic scenes in the cities showed how smoke billowed from apartment blocks and cars were engulfed in flames as people fled huge bangs.
As emergency services rushed to control the damage in Lebanon, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant announced it was at the start of a new phase in its war.
He made no mention of the exploding devices but praised the work of Israel’s army and security agencies, saying ‘the results are very impressive.’
With the situation in the Middle East balanced on a knife edge, MailOnline shows how the second wave of explosions across Lebanon unfolded.
