The Hamas terror group issues a statement where it blames Israel for a wave of explosions targeting Hezbollah communications devices over the last two days, and says the move threatens regional stability.

“We strongly condemn the renewed and ongoing Zionist aggression against the brotherly Lebanese people,” Hamas says in a statement, adding that the attacks “now threaten the security and stability of the region.”

Israel has not commented on the blasts in Lebanon.

Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support the Palestinians in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 assault on southern Israel in which the terrorists killed some 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.
