A new wave of explosions has hit Lebanon after hand-held radios reportedly blew up across the country on Wednesday in regions with a large Hezbollah presence.
Witnesses and security sources said that the communication devices that exploded across Lebanon on Wednesday are hand-held radios, different to pagers that exploded on Tuesday and which killed 13 people - 10 of them Hezbollah members and two children - and wounded thousands.
Hezbollah earlier on Wednesday vowed to retaliate against Israel after thousands of paging devices mainly used by the group's members exploded in a deadly wave across Lebanon.
"This path is ongoing and separate from the difficult reckoning that the criminal enemy must await for its massacre on Tuesday," it said on Telegram.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is due to give a televised address at 5:00 pm (1400 GMT) on Thursday.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in Cairo that a ceasefire in Israel's war on Gaza would be the best way to stop violence from spreading in the Middle East.
His visit to Egypt aimed to salvage stalled negotiations mediated by Egypt, Qatar and the United States to end the conflict.
