Exploding walkie-talkies have killed 14 and injured at least 450 people across Lebanon, the country’s health ministry says

The blasts come a day after exploding pagers killed 12 people, including two children, and left almost 3,000 in hospital

Multiple sources say Mossad, the Israeli spy agency, was targeting Hezbollah fighters in Tuesday’s explosions – Israel declined to comment

However, Israel’s defence minister says they are “opening a new phase in the war”, and the “centre of gravity is shifting to the north”

Hezbollah used pagers after banning mobile phones earlier this year, saying they were too easy to track.
