Fears grow of wider war as Israel sends more troops to Lebanon border | BBC News

- Fears are growing of all-out conflict between Israel and Lebanon, as Israel's defence minister said his country was “opening a new phase in the war” and more troops were sent to the border. Yoav Gallant said the "centre of gravity is shifting to the north”.
His warning came hours after a new wave of explosions killed 14 people and injured at least 450 across Lebanon when walkie-talkies exploded, according to the country’s health ministry. That came a day after exploding pagers killed 12 people in Lebanon including two children and left almost 3,000 people in hospital.
Multiple sources said that Mossad, the Israeli spy agency, was targeting Hezbollah fighters and had managed to place explosives in the electronic devices. Israel has declined to comment on those claims and the United States declared that it had no prior knowledge of the attacks.
The defence minister’s announcement suggests that Israel is shifting its focus towards its conflict with Hezbollah - the Iran-backed group based in Lebanon. Around 60,000 people have been displaced in the north of Israel due to rocket and drone attacks by Hezbollah since the October 7th attacks in Israel and the war in Gaza. Thousands of people in Lebanon have been killed and injured by Israeli attacks.
Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Orla Guerin, Gordon Corera and Jeremy Bowen.

As far as Jeremy Bowen is concerned the middle east is only dangerous when Israel fights back - if Israel doesn’t fight back while its enemies attack it, the middle east is peaceful.
If you are a consumer of technology fighting with inventor and manufacturer of technology, expect to cry. It seems all electronic devices, gadgets, cars in Lebanon are bombs in waiting. Hezibollah is learning a hard way. Having a rocket is one thing but the one who controls GPRS is the ultimate victor.
8000 rockets is not sharing
This is literally the least indiscriminate most targeted attack possible. Meanwhile Hezbollah is literally attacking ISrael indiscriminately. What is wrong with the BBC- I am truly shocked.
Indiscriminate lmao, A 10 year year old was killed in Lebanon. Not to mention 40,000+ civilians in Gaza and 180,000 estimated deaths by lancelot. Thats like saying the nazis were indiscriminate. Israel = Modern day nazi regime
Actually it is the most indiscriminate. Hezbollah pagers are given not only to its soldiers but medics, doctors, teachers etc. Hezbollah is not only a militant group they are a political party and part of the Lebanese government.
Hezbollah is attacking Israeli military sites not civilians. Israel attacks civilians.
Ladies and gentlemen, we call for calm! At the moment, no BBC staff is reported injured as a result of the ongoing pagers and walkie-talkies blasts across Lebanon. However, there's widespread reports of mourning at the BBC headquarters 😅
The tone of this is surprisingly bias, is this what the BBC is now? I'm genuinely curious
Dude the whole west works for Israel.
Stop dumping people after sucking life out of them
The only bias I see here is in the comments.
How is this biased?
So having a sad tone because innocent people died from a terrorist attack is now considered being bias now?
Reminding BBC that Israel is not at war with Lebanon. This is Lebanon that started a war against Israel without any Israeli aggression
Conclusion: BBB cannot verify who planted the bombs

no it was the highest ratio of only military age males who actually belong to a designated terrorist organization targeted surgically and masterfully by genius intellegence agencies and probably diplomats.
@@thimblemunch24actually you're misleading. The purpose of that poor definition is, that it serves no OTHER objective but that. For example, break down communication of enemy forces, stop the capability of enemy force, enhance deference etc. Which it did. For example 9/11 or Oct 7, what did they achieve? Did it in any way advanced the goals of their perpetrators? Could it have? Not really. The attack was the purpose.
But look at me, trying to explain to terror sympathizer why their definition is convenient and incorrect. Of course it doesn't matter. You want to see people get hurt. That's the whole point.
