On Wednesday, exploding radios killed at least twenty (20) and injured more than 400, as disclosed by Lebanese Health Ministry.
Yoav Gallant, Defence Minister of Israel, declared on Wednesday, the start of a “new phase” of the war as the Israeli Army turns its focus to the Northern front with Lebanon.
Gallant said: “We are at the start of a new phase in the war – we are allocating resources and forces to the northern arena and our mission is clear: ensuring the safe return of Israel’s northern communities to their homes. To do so, the security situation must be changed.”
To avoid overcrowding, the wounded have been taken to different hospital across Lebanon.
