Photos and videos published by news agencies and social media users from the scene of the incident in Lebanon, where the transmitters carried by thousands of Hezbollah members exploded on Tuesday and Wednesday, documented painful moments of scenes of bloodshed among the convoys of wounded who invaded Lebanese hospitals, amid panic over the harsh scenes left behind by the explosions.
Footage documenting the attacks and their aftermath shows some evidence of how they occurred and the devices used, according to the New York Times.
The transmitters appeared to be packed with explosives, with Lebanese officials saying it was the result of an Israeli operation. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied involvement in the attacks.

The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that 20 people were killed and more than 450 were injured on Wednesday in a new wave of explosions that targeted wireless communication devices in Lebanon.
