Tensions in the Middle East are concerning, but in recent days, another piece of bad news has come that explosions have occurred in many places across Lebanon, resulting in nearly 3,000 casualties. With the Israel of accountability from multiple parties, the anti-Israeli armed groups have vowed to retaliate, and a new round of all-out war is coming, the United States has urgently cleared up the relationship, who is the real culprit? Let's focus on this issue.
According to a number of domestic and foreign media reports, at about 3 p.m. local time on September 17, pager explosions occurred in many places throughout Lebanon, and the media quoted witnesses and local residents as saying that the explosion lasted for more than 1 hour, and until 4:30 p.m., local residents could still hear the explosion. According to Lebanon's Minister of Public Health, Abyad, the incident has so far killed nine people and injured about 2,800 people, about 200 of whom are in critical condition. As soon as this incident came out, it immediately caused an uproar around the world.
After the incident, the first thing the media focused on was undoubtedly who was the real culprit behind the scenes? How exactly did the bombing happen? According to Western media, citing sources familiar with the matter, the pagers were intercepted by the Israel Intelligence Agency, the Mossad and the Israel military, before being delivered to the Lebanon Allah Party, who placed less than 20 grams of trace explosives inside the pagers and made some modifications to the device so that it could be detonated by remotely raising the battery temperature, which ultimately led to the incident.
So far, although Israel has not responded to the attack, there is no clear evidence that Israel did it. However, judging from the current situation in the Middle East, many parties have closed the coffin and put Israel in the position of the real culprit. Jonathan · Panikov, an analyst at the Atlantic Council, a United States think tank, analyzed that "Israel is almost certainly behind the scenes." The New York Times, citing United States officials and other state officials, said Israel had planted explosives in Allah's imported pagers in advance.
The bombing reportedly caused the Lebanon Allah party to suffer "the biggest counterintelligence failure in decades," and the Allah party also identified the Israel as the attack, vowing to retaliate and give the Israel "reasonable punishment." At the same time, the attack on all parts of Lebanon has deepened anti-Israeli anger. Palestinian Hamas said for the first time that the pager bombing was a further "escalation" of the regional situation and would only lead to Israel's "defeat and rout." For its part, the armed faction of the Iraq Allah brigade said it would provide fighters and equipment to the Lebanon Allah party and pledged to be prepared to "support to the death" it in the fight against Israel.
After the pager explosion, United States State Department spokesman Matthew · Miller first immediately dissociated themselves from the relationship and staged a "trifecta of denial", emphasizing that United States "did not participate" and "did not know", and did not know who should be held responsible, and then changed the tone and declared that the United States supported the attack on the Allah Party. Although there is no mention of supporting Israel, all that is revealed in the words is support for Israel. White House press secretary Jean · Pierre, on the basis of "denying the triple", stressed that the ongoing conflict between Israel and Allah needs to be resolved through diplomatic means.
All in all, after the outbreak of this incident, the anti-Israeli armed groups immediately united the front, claiming that they would make Israel pay a huge price, and various actions indicate that the current situation in the Middle East will further escalate, and if diplomatic means continue to fail, the escalating tensions may eventually break out into a full-scale war.
