Wave of Explosions ‘Introduction’ of War: Lebanese FM
The detonation of pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon over the past days signals the “introduction” of a war, going beyond the daily exchange of fire on the border with Israel, Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib stated on Thursday.
“There is no doubt it is a scary moment, and we are afraid of a coming war because we don't want a war,” Habib said in an interview with CNN.
While there were skirmishes on the border, which sometimes escalated, now “we are talking about a war,” he said, adding that the last incident is an “introduction of a war.”
“That's why we're going to the U.N. Security Council to stop this. We are against war in Lebanon," Habib noted.
Hezbollah was in disarray on Thursday after a second wave of deadly explosions swept through its strongholds across Lebanon, putting pressure on its leader to exact revenge for the operation it blames on Israel.
The attack killed 32 people in two days, including two children, and wounded more than 3,000 others.
Israel has not commented on the unprecedented operation that saw Hezbollah operatives' walkie-talkies and pagers exploding in supermarkets, at funerals and on streets.
