Lebanon rocked by deadly walkie-talkie and pager attacks. Cross-border attacks: Israel and Hezbollah engaged in cross-border strikes Thursday as Lebanon reels from deadly back-to-back attacks targeting the electronic devices of the Iran-backed militant group’s members that left dozens dead and thousands of people injured.

Action to continue: Israeli military action against Hezbollah will continue, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vowed Thursday. “Our goal is to ensure the safe return of Israel’s northern communities to their homes,” he said while meeting with military commanders.

Hezbollah chief speaks: The group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah condemned the stealth attacks targeting pagers and walkie-talkies, saying Israel “crossed all the red lines” and hinting at possible retaliation. Israel has not claimed responsibility.
