In Beirut, a series of explosions caused by electronic pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah members resulted in casualties and raised tensions between Israel and Lebanon. Journalist William Christou reported on the unprecedented attacks, prompting questions about the motives behind them. Israel was quickly blamed, leading to further violence and retaliation. World affairs editor Julian Borger of The Guardian discussed the strategy behind the attacks in an interview with Michael Safi. Human rights groups and the UN condemned the killing of civilians, while Israel continued its strikes on Lebanon. The situation remains tense as both sides seek revenge and escalate the conflict. The Guardian, an independent news outlet, continues to report on the developments in the region but relies on reader support to fund its journalism.
