Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati calls for the United Nations to oppose Israel’s “technological war” on his country ahead of a Security Council meeting on exploding devices used by the Hezbollah terror group that killed at least 32 people.

Mikati says in a statement the UN Security Council meeting on Friday should “take a firm stance to stop the Israeli aggression on Lebanon and the technological war it is waging.”

A fresh wave of explosions ripped across Lebanon yesterday, appearing to mainly target handheld radios used by Hezbollah members, a day after thousands were wounded when their pagers spontaneously exploded in a coordinated assault widely blamed on Israel after months of Hezbollah attacks with rocket, missile and drone fire.
