Israel Starts New Phase Of War: While Israel is fighting a war with Hamas in Gaza, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant has announced the beginning of a ‘new phase’ of war. Under the new phase of war, the Israeli army is now focusing on the northern front along with Lebanon. Israel has announced a new phase of war at a time when there have been blasts in pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon within two days. 18 people have died in these blasts and more than 3000 people have been injured.

9 people died in the latest blasts

Meanwhile, let us also tell you that, a day after the pager blasts in Lebanon, there were incidents of explosions in electronic devices in many parts of the country on Wednesday as well. Hezbollah officials gave this information to the government media. Hezbollah officials said that according to reports, walkie-talkies and even solar devices were also targeted. The Health Ministry said that at least nine people were killed and 300 others were injured in the latest blasts.

The possibility of war increasing

According to Lebanon’s official news agency, solar power systems in homes have exploded in several areas of Beirut and southern Lebanon. The blasts have come at a time when there is confusion and anger in Lebanon after a series of pager explosions across the country on Tuesday. These explosions have further increased tensions amid the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which has increased the risk of turning into a war.

Israel increased the deployment of troops
