WATCH: Israel Chief of Staff Warns Hezbollah Terrorists Will Now Be 'Afraid of Going To Toilet & Even Eat Food'
Tel Aviv: Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi said on Wednesday that Hezbollah
fighters will now be afraid of even the most basic activities, like going to
the toilet or eating food, after a series of explosions targeting Hezbollah in
Beirut and across Lebanon.
The blasts, which are widely believed to be carried out by Israel, involved
walkie-talkies and solar equipment and came just a day after similar attacks
was done using pagers which are used by Hezbollah for communication purposes.

At least 20 people were killed and more than 450 wounded in the second wave of
attack leading the total casualties in the to 30, the Health Ministry stated.
Halevi stated, “We still have many capabilities. We will operate at every
stage, and with each one, the price for Hezbollah will be high.”
While the attacks are widely believed to have been carried out by Israel, they
have also led to civilian casualties, intensifying concerns that the
long-standing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah could spiral into a
full-scale conflict.
"Throughout nearly a year of war in Gaza, we have been fighting with two main
objectives dismantling Hamas and securing the release of the hostages. We have
made significant progress, but there is still more to be done." said Herzi.
"We possess many untapped capabilities, some of which we have already
demonstrated. Our readiness is strong, and we are actively preparing for
future operations. Our strategy ensures that as we move through each stage,
the subsequent stages are already planned and ready. For Hezbollah, the cost
of each stage will only increase.” he added further.
Meanwhile, Israel has escalated its covert operations against Iran-backed
Hezbollah, after reportedly thousands of two-way personal radios used by the
militant group were detonated in Lebanon.
The move marks a significant intensification of Israel's efforts to disrupt
Hezbollah’s communications and command structure amid conflict in Gaza and
International pressure to secure a cease-fire with Hamas.
According to a report from Axios, Israeli intelligence services planted
explosives in the walkie-talkies, which were then delivered to Hezbollah as
part of their emergency communications system. The radios were intended to be
used by Hezbollah during a potential conflict with Israel. By embedding
explosives in these devices, Israel aimed to undermine the group's ability to
effectively coordinate and manage operations.
