In Beirut, a series of explosions rocked the city, starting with electronic pagers used by members of Hezbollah exploding and causing casualties. Israel was blamed for the attack, which came as a surprise amid ongoing tensions in the region. As the death toll rose and walkie-talkies also exploded, Hezbollah vowed to take revenge. Human rights groups and the UN condemned civilian deaths, while Israel carried out further strikes. The Guardian journalist Michael Safi spoke to Julian Borger, the paper’s world affairs editor, to understand the strategy behind the attack. The incident has raised questions about the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, with critics and supporters alike wondering about the timing and execution of the explosions. The situation remains tense as both sides continue to trade attacks, and the international community watches closely for further developments. The Guardian’s coverage of the events in Beirut is supported by reader funding as the newspaper remains committed to providing open and accessible journalism.
