Lebanon's Official News Agency Claims Home Solar Energy Systems Exploded In Several Areas Of Beirut; Video Surfaces

Lebanon's state news agency reported that home solar energy systems have exploded in several areas of Beirut.

This comes after the update that several walkie talkies exploded in Beirut on Wednesday (September 18) a day after the pager explosions were reported which injured over 2,000 people and killed at least 12 people.

Rescue Ops

Ambulance crews from the Lebanese Red Cross were working to rescue and evacuate those who were wounded after walkie-talkie explosions in Lebanon on Wednesday.

Teams of Lebanese Red Cross emergency medics were working in southern Lebanon, the southern suburbs of Beirut and central Beqaa valley.

Hezbollah had blamed Israel for the pager explosions on Tuesday and said it would "avenge" the attacks. Lebanese officials asked people with pagers to discard the devices.

Hamas Statement

Hamas said in a statement, "We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), strongly condemn the Zionist terrorist aggression that targeted Lebanese citizens by detonating communication devices in various areas of Lebanese territories, as well as civilian and service facilities."
