The latest escalation brought Israel and Hezbollah back to the brink of the war on Sept. 20, as the Israeli military carried out dozens of strikes across southern Lebanon in what Lebanese security sources said were some of the most intense bombings in months.

An Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon could trigger ‘apocalyptic’ scenes and lead to all-out war, warns a high-ranking diplomat from Lebanon, explaining that the Israel Defense Forces would face troops trained by the British.

Israel said it struck hundreds of targets in Lebanon, hours after Hezbollah's leader vowed to retaliate for two "unprecedented" rounds of attacks targeting its operatives' communication devices.

The Israeli military launched a new wave of attacks against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Thursday (Sept. 19), following two days of explosions involving devices that escalated tensions in the Middle East, raising fears of an all-out war within the international community.

The situation in the Middle East has escalated dramatically, with tensions heightening following explosions of Hezbollah’s bomb detonators and portable radios in Lebanon.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah directly accused Israel of the barrage of attacks in Lebanon over the past 48 hours, which resulted in the deaths of 20 people and the injury of 450.

In his address, the organization’s leader described the explosions targeting bomb detectors and radios as “war crimes” and the deaths as a massacre.

A second deadly wave of unprecedented explosions in the strongholds of Lebanon's Hezbollah left it in disarray on Thursday, hours before a major speech by its beleaguered leader Hassan Nasrallah.

The latest batch of device explosions killed 20 people and wounded more than 450 others on Wednesday, officials said, stoking fears of a full-blown war with Israel.

The case involving the mass explosions of pagers in Lebanon, which resulted in the death of 12 people, including two children, and injured nearly 3,000, resembles a spy thriller.

A recent announcement by the Taiwanese company initially thought to have manufactured the pagers adds a new dimension to the ongoing thriller regarding who made the devices that turned into bombs against Hezbollah fighters.

The Lebanese group assured that Israel “will face just punishment” following “this criminal attack.”
