On Wednesday, deadly explosions rocked Lebanon as pagers used by Hezbollah were detonated, resulting in the tragic loss of 37 lives and leaving thousands injured, according to the Lebanese health ministry.
In a recent interview with CGTN, Ali Omais, director of the Center for Strategic Research and Studies at the Makassed University of Beirut, delved into the possible causes behind the incidents. Omais posits that Israel may have modified the pagers by inserting explosive materials, suggesting a deliberate attempt to escalate tensions in the region.
The expert emphasized the precarious situation, noting that \"anything is possible at this point as far as the potential for large-scale warfare is concerned.\" As the region grapples with the aftermath of the explosions, the international community watches closely, mindful of the fragile balance that now teeters on the brink of further conflict.
