A warning. The images you are about to see may be disturbing the boj is exploded simultaneously across the country on tuesday afternoon, a lebanese Security Source tells cnn the devices when you and had been purchased by hezbollah in recent months israeli military officials held a situational Assessment Meeting on Tuesday Evening following the blasts. The lebanese government blames israel calling it a quote, serious violation of lebanese sovereignty people of lebanon are also slamming at the attack that killed this is an earthquake that must be met with response from the resistance i decisive destructive, and shattering response even if it leads to war how the situation seems i dont know action and reaction.

The images in his report are graphic at the fruit display the checkout hard to overstate the psychological impact of hundreds of blast across lebanon areas pages exploding at about 3 30 according to the Group Security forces asking lebanese to stay off the road. So the sheer volume of Emergency Vehicles could get to a hospital nearly 3,000 patients at least 170 critical easily, the most widespread moment of violence did across lebanon since the 2006 war with israel, who hezbollah is now firmly blaming for these new attacks on their Tv Channels allowed do while we blame the israeli enemy with full responsibility and the Tv Anchor said, this im going to attack, but also harm civilians israel themselves declined to claim the attack, to blame. Perhaps these tiny devices according to posts on Social Media, Cnn Cant verify the race now, to work out how was it just one type of device a Cyber Attack the Battery Ban that they just it has built or areas it comes at yet another critical time. Monday, israels Defense Minister hinted meeting the u. S. Envoy that the time for a diplomatic solution of how to get Tens Of Thousands of israelis home to the War Plague North but mostly past. That a Military Option is all that remains the hope had been for calm after the death of Hezbollah Commander Fuad shukr also killed in a violation of Hezbollah Stronghold in Southern Beirut led to great fury. But minimal fire with hezbollah as retaliation restrained perhaps by preemptive israeli strikes. Many felt the moment of conflagration had passed. Now, it seems back again with hezbollah, once more under pressure to hit back hard but only because another sophisticated he did attack has made them look weak Nick Paton Walsh cnn, London Elliott Gotkine is following developments from london elliott, what more are you learning about these attacks . And theres the Scale And Sophistication of this attack is becoming clearer. We are learning some more details now. First and foremost, we have learned that it was a joint operation between the israeli military, the idf, and the countrys foreign intelligence services, the mossad. Now according to the New York times, what they managed to do is to get small amounts of explosives inside these pagers next to the battery, along with a switch, which would enable them to be detonated remotely, resulting in those explosions that we can see right now. And which have caused chaos across lebanon. At the same time, we are also learning that the devices seemed to be it made by a company called gold apollo. This is a taiwanese based manufacturer of these pages, but the chairman of that company says that the model in question, the ar924, was not manufactured by them, rather, it was manufactured under license by a hungarian distributor that goes by the name of Bac Consulting. Its based in budapest. Now what we dont know, of course, is at what point these explosives managed to find their way into these pages was Bac Consulting somehow involved . Weve reached out to the company. We will obviously bring you more details on that. We dont know if these explosives were perhaps installed via agents who got into the factory somehow, or if they got them into these devices in the course of shipment, perhaps intercepting the shipment while it was on its way to hezbollah militants in lebanon and getting the explosives in. There at the time and now, we dont know the answers to those questions. But what we can see of course, is the impact that this attack has had sowing chaos and creating shockwaves throughout Hezbollah And Lebanon itself. Elliott has blood has has made a statement and tell us about it. And are we expecting some sort of retaliatory response so theres an element of bluster as there always is with the comments that are made by militant groups and others when talking about planned attacks are retaliation against israel. But of course we do know that there are actual actions that follow them. In this case, hezbollah saying that this criminal and treacherous enemy, referring to israel will definitely receive a fair punishment for this sinful assault, both in ways that are expected and unexpected. Now those ways could involve more barrages of rockets, missiles biles, and drones being fired at israel, or perhaps attacks on israeli or jewish targets overseas. We obviously dont know for now in london, we appreciate the update things with, less than 50 days until the u. S. Presidential election. The nominees were back on the Campaign Trail in states that could be key to the november vote. Vice president Kamala Harris attended an event hosted by the National Association Of Black Journalists in pennsylvania on tuesday she answered questions on a wide range of issues and commented on the threats against schools and out of the cities in springfield, ohio, calling it a crying shame she denounced as hateful rhetoric, false claims spread by Donald Trump. And his Running Mate about haitian immigrants eating pets its got to stop and weve got to say that you cannot be entrusted what standing behind the seal of the president of the united states of america engaging in that hateful rhetoric that as usual is designed to divide us as a country meantime, Donald Trump was in michigan for his first Campaign Events since the second apparent attempt on his life. The republican president ial Nominee Walk through the crowd of support what is shaking hands . We usually at his rallies, Trump Walks onto the stage and waves at the crowd without getting close to them. Drops spoke about the incident in florida you know only consequential president s get shot at when i say something like that, you have countries saying this guy i but what can you do . You have to do, you have to do what you have to do, right . You have to we have to be brave. Otherwise, were not going to have a country left well, joining me now from london is indeed at palmer, Professor Of International Politics said, city st. Georges university of london. Great to see do you in the wake of this second apparent Assassination Attempt of Donald Trump, there obviously calls on both sides of the aisle to, to lower the temperature, reduce the rhetoric you seeing any signs of that . Well not really. I think the temperature of American Politics is very high in is getting higher and higher as the stakes get higher and the election draws closer and quite frankly, weve seen the most minimal reduction of the rhetoric of a kind of violence, if you like it after the first assassination, even from president on president trump. But basically, the temperature of american parties high and getting higher and the tensions are increasing and one fears for the kind of election thats going to be actually held in november. And the after two math of it in the wake of an Election Result which goes in either direction i want to play you some sound from the Campaign Trail of both harris and trump. Lets take a Listen Part of my plan under my economic Opportunity Plan going forward is that right now startup entrepreneurs, Small Businesses only get a Tax Deduction of 5,000 nobody can start Small Business with 5,000 so im expanding that to 50,000 understanding, again, that when people have the opportunity to have the resources to get started, theyre going to put the good ideas, theyre going to put the hard work into it. There are certain countries i can tell you everyone i can give you from top to bottom. Chinas the toughest of all, but we were taking care of china with tariffs so were gonna do a reciprocal trade. If anybody charges us 0. 10, if they judges to dollars that they charged us 100 , 250, we charge them the same thing. And you know whats going to happen. Everythings going to disappear. And were going to end up having Free Trade again integer the economy, obviously number one issue for most americans listening to the two candidates, if focus is very different, trump talking about tariffs being the answer, making big promises offering little detail.
