Israel has been launching unprecedented cyber attacks on Lebanon for the past two days. In Lebanon, which Israel turned into a bloodbath without firing a single bullet, the call devices of Hezbollah members in the capital Beirut exploded first. Today, attacks were also carried out on radio devices in the country. With yesterday's attacks, dozens of people lost their lives and thousands of people were injured in the country, which turned into a fire scene. In the evening hours, a statement came from Israel that said "the obvious is announced". Defense Minister Gallant said that the focus of his country has shifted to the Lebanon front and a new stage has begun in the war.
SECOND CYBER ATTACK: RADIOS EXPLODED
Israel exploded the radios of Hezbollah members in various regions of Lebanon, especially in the capital Beirut, this evening. As a result of the explosion of radio devices, 9 people lost their lives and more than 300 people were injured. It was stated that fires also broke out in some houses and vehicles after the explosions. The Lebanese Civil Defense Directorate reported that they are trying to extinguish the fires that occurred in houses, vehicles, and workplaces as a result of the explosion of devices in the southern part of Beirut, Bekaa, and Mount Lebanon regions. It was observed that an unmanned aerial vehicle, estimated to belong to Israel, flew over the area where the funeral of Hezbollah members killed in yesterday's call device explosion was held in the Dahiye neighborhood in the south of Beirut.
ISRAEL DEFENSE MINISTER: A NEW STAGE HAS BEGUN IN THE WAR
Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that after the second explosion in electronic devices in 24 hours throughout Lebanon, the focus of his country has shifted to the Lebanon front and a new stage has begun in the war. According to the news in the Israeli press, Gallant, who visited an airbase near the city of Haifa in Israel, said, "The center of gravity is shifting to the north. We are moving our forces, resources, and energy to the north." Gallant said, "I think we are at the beginning of a new stage in the war. We must adapt. We must show consistency over time. This war requires great courage, determination, and persistence." Gallant, who claimed that the aim of Israel's attack in the north is for Israeli citizens who have been evacuated to return to their homes safely, also claimed that they have not forgotten the Israeli prisoners in the Gaza Strip.
