00:00Smoke billowed from a cell phone shop inside on Lebanon on Wednesday after handheld radios

00:07used by Hezbollah detonated across the country south.

00:14Lebanon's health ministry said several people were killed in the latest attack and hundreds

00:19were wounded.

00:22The death toll from Tuesday's pager explosions rose to 12, including two children, with nearly

00:273,000 injured.

00:31At a funeral for four of those killed by the exploding pagers, Hezbollah official Hashem

00:35Saifuddin promised a response.

00:40This aggression inevitably has its own punishment.

00:42It has its own retribution.

00:46This punishment will come, God willing.

00:47We will not talk much, as tomorrow the talk will be for the master of the resistance.

00:53Hezbollah said on Wednesday it had attacked Israeli artillery positions with rockets in

00:57its first strike at its arch foe since the pager blasts.

01:01A senior Lebanese security source said the explosives were planted months earlier by

01:06Israel's spy agency, Mossad.

01:08Israel's military has declined to comment on the blasts.

01:11It's imperative that all parties refrain from any actions that could escalate the conflict.

01:16U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in Cairo to advance efforts to secure a ceasefire

01:21in Gaza, said the detonations in Lebanon threatened to derail diplomatic efforts in the Middle

01:26East.

01:27Later, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres said the incidents risked a dramatic escalation

01:34in the region.

01:35Because obviously the logic of making all these devices explode is to do it as a preemptive

01:44strike before a major military operation.

01:47A security source said the handheld radios were purchased by Hezbollah five months ago,

01:52around the same time the group bought the pagers.

01:55Two sources familiar with the group's operations told Reuters its fighters began using pagers,

02:00hoping to evade Israeli tracking.

02:03A Reuters reporter in the southern suburbs of Beirut said he saw Hezbollah members frantically

02:08taking out the batteries of any walkie-talkies on them that had not exploded.

02:13Meanwhile, Israel released video on Wednesday that showed Defense Minister Yoav Galant telling

02:20troops that more forces were being sent to the northern border, where Lebanon borders

02:24as the war moved into a new phase.
