In short:

A day after exploding pagers caused mass casualties in Lebanon, walkie-talkies used by members of the Hezbollah militant group detonated.

The Lebanese health ministry said 20 people were killed and hundreds were injured.

What's next?

Israel has not commented on the blasts, but Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said it was entering a "new phase" of war focused on the country's northern border with Lebanon.

Oh, it's a war crime. Hence Israel's No Comment on the situation. (not that anyone would suggest they did it...)

I gotta admit, Israel is pretty good at being evil. They're really pushing in all directions and absolutely counting on the US and other supportive nations to keep them from being absolutely devastated by outside threats. Surely they must know that they're going to push too far and get leveled, right?

Actually, if the US continues to arm then while they attempt genocide, I guess they can just do whatever they want. Pretty insane. I'm sure they'll be able to kill every single person that wants to harm the state of Israel. Not like they're creating two new people that hate them for every one they murder or anything. Nope. This should work out fine.

I'm kinda wondering if we'll hear about collateral damage, or how a bunch of the walkie talkies accidentally took out aid workers or went to a hospital or something...
