More electronic devices have detonated in Lebanon on Wednesday, just one day following the explosion of hundreds of pagers, used by Hezbollah militants.
Some believe that it might have been a second wave of deadly attacks, which target electronic gadgets. Many believe that Israel is the mastermind behind both attacks, and fear that the simmering tensions between the two sides, could escalate to all-out war.

00:00Hundreds of pagers used by Hezbollah members exploded almost simultaneously in parts of
00:07Lebanon and Syria on Tuesday.
00:09The attack killed at least 12 and wounded thousands more.
00:13The Lebanese government and Iran-backed Hezbollah have blamed Israel for the deadly explosions.
00:19Meanwhile, the Israeli military, which has a long history of sophisticated operations
00:23behind enemy lines, has declined to comment.
00:27An anonymous American official claimed Israel briefed the U.S. on the operation, which involved
00:32the detonation of small amounts of explosives hidden in target pagers.
00:37The U.S. Secretary of State responded by stating that they know nothing about the attack.
00:41With regard to Lebanon, the United States did not know about, nor was it involved in
00:49these incidents.
00:50We're still gathering the information and gathering the facts.
00:54Broadly speaking, we've been very clear and we remain very clear about the importance
01:00of all parties avoiding any steps that could further escalate the conflict that we're trying
01:07to resolve.
01:10More detonations took place in Beirut and parts of Lebanon just a day after the deadly
01:14pager explosions.
01:16The latest incident has killed at least 25 and injured more than 600.
01:21This is an act of aggression against non-combatants, community people, even if some of them are
01:30combatants.
01:31But this is a non-discriminatory act of attack.
01:34And I think that the use of this non-discriminatory force or attacks, which clearly will affect
01:44civilians, is something, in my mind, is something against international military law.
01:50The pagers, which exploded on Tuesday, were procured more than six months ago.
01:55They were produced by a Hungary-based company and sold with a Taiwanese brand license.
02:00How they arrived in Lebanon remains a mystery.
02:03Additionally, Japanese walkie-talkie maker ICOM told the press that the exploded radio
02:08devices in Lebanon appeared to be knockoffs and did not come from their factories.
02:13Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant made no mention of the explosions of electronic
02:18devices but praised the Israeli army and security agencies.
02:23He also claimed that the country is now at the start of a new phase in the war.
