According to the report, on September 18, hand-held radios used by Hezbollah exploded across southern Lebanon and in Beirut's suburbs, increasing tensions with Israel.

The report said that Lebanon's health ministry reported that 14 people were killed and around 450 were injured. The death toll from explosions the previous day rose to 12, including two children. After the explosions, Hezbollah briefly struggled to regroup but claimed it had attacked Israeli artillery positions with rockets.

The report added that the Israeli military reported sirens in northern Israel but noted no damage or injuries. A senior Lebanese security source revealed that Israel's Mossad agency had planted explosives in the pagers months earlier. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, called for an independent investigation into the explosions.

In addition, Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate against Israel, which has been engaged in ongoing cross-border conflict since the Gaza conflict escalated. They warned Israel to expect a response to the "massacre" caused by the pager explosions

They keep on retaliating. The leaders should talk peacefully to come up with the solutions of their problems.

The tension between the two countries is rising and the war may start in them soon if such things continue to happen.

The war escalates and may not be negotiated. Only the intervention of God can stop this. Thousands already died.
