Jericka the Cbs Evening news starts now. Good evening. Im Jericka Duncan in tonight for norah. We begin with the growing tensions in the Middle East following those exploding Pager And Walkietalkie attacks in lebanon. The highly unusual attacks targeting the Terror Group Hezbollah killing at least 37 people and leaving thousands wounded. Tonight, israel says it struck hundreds of Hezbollah Rocket Launcher barrels inside lebanon before they could be fired into israel. Earlier, hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah delivered his widely anticipated response to those exploding devices pointing blame firmly at israel, saying the attacks could amount to a declaration of war. And it is that wider war the world has feared since an assaults between Hezbollah And Israel have escalated since october 7th. And tonight, lebanon, a nation of roughly 5. 5 Million people just north of israel, is on edge. Cbss Imtiaz Tyab leads us off tonight from lebanons capital city. Reporter well, we are here in beiruts famous latenight district. You can probably hear the music, but these bars, which would normally be full of people, are, as you can see, almost completely empty. Now this comes at a time when the lebanese military is destroying pagers and any sort of suspicious devices and as hezbollah fighters go underground fearing more attacks. In a televised address tonight, a wearylooking Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of hezbollah, admitted the synchronized Pager And Walkietalkie attacks delivered a severe blow to the group. [speaking in a global language] reporter accusing israel of violating all redlines. For two terrifying days, Lowtech Communication devices, many carried by hezbollah members, exploded simultaneously in towns and cities across lebanon. Injuring more than 2900, some so seriously they lost limbs. And killing at least 37 people, including children. [speaking in a global language] reporter in his address, nasrallah also vowed israel would not achieve its goal of returning displaced israelis to their homes in northern Border Towns until the violence in gaza and the occupied West Bank ends. But while he was speaking. The sound of Sonic Booms from lowflying israeli Fighter Jets shook buildings across beirut. Screams of terror echoed across the streets below. Makram rabah is a regional analyst. Ultimately if they do invade they will have to occupy. This would lead to a kind of slow, depleting war for israel. And this would more importantly legitimize hezbollah. Reporter tonight, the Israeli Military has said that it had struck around 100 Rocket Launchers belonging to Hezbollat Launchers belonging to while also confirming two of its soldiers were killed in a Hezbollah Strike along its northern border. A deadly Tit For Tat that is now in its 11th month. But with hundreds of hezbollah fighters injured, the groups Communications Networks in complete disarray, and with nols at at its border, an allout war between Israel And Hezbollah may not be as close as many feared.
