Beirut blasts: Lebanon rocked by wave of hand-held radio blasts as 'solar energy systems explode'


Israel's defence minister declared a "new phase" of the war as its army turned its attention to the northern front with Lebanon as reports say nine people have been killed in the latest wave of blasts.

Lebanon has been rocked by a second wave of blasts, this time linked to hand-held radios, as reports have emerged that solar energy systems have exploded in several areas as well. Sky News special correspondent Alex Crawford witnessed the seeming aftermath of one of the explosions, at a funeral held in southern Beirut for four people killed in Tuesday's pager blasts. Speaking to Israeli troops on Wednesday, defence minister Yoav Gallant made no mention of the exploding electronic devices in Lebanon, but he praised the work of Israel's army and security agencies.
