Smoke pours from Beirut building after explosion - VOA News.
Eyewitness footage captures smoke pouring from a building's windows following an explosion in Beirut, Lebanon, on Wednesday.
At least nine people were killed and another 300 injured on Wednesday in a new round of explosions in Lebanon, with the latest blasts detonated remotely in walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah militants.
At least one of the blasts occurred near one of the funerals organized by Iran-backed Hezbollah for three Hezbollah members and a child, who were among the 12 killed on Tuesday when thousands of pagers used by the group exploded across the country, wounding nearly 3,000 people.
Hezbollah blamed the attacks on Israel, which has not commented, even as security experts in the Mideast and the U.S. told U.S. media outlets that Tuesday’s pager attack was the work of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. #Lebanon #reels #videography #voanews
