Israeli warplanes have attacked southern Lebanon after 37 people were killed and more than 3,000 injured by exploding pagers and walkie-talkies across the country. Meanwhile, a Hungary-based firm have been accused of being an Israeli shell company that manufactured the pagers.

An Israeli government spokesperson is holding a news conference in Tel Aviv.Israel violated child rights treaty in Gaza, UN says

Explaining the extent of the injuries, he said:"The hands for the overwhelming majority have been mangled, with a lot of amputations. "So what you have is a collection of people of all ages, men and women, who have come in with that blast injury. We've had women, we've had some children, who were in the house when some pagers exploded."

Ms Shina said:"I think when you look at the big number of people that were injured, you understand it was very much precise and very much directed on operatives, only on Hezbollah operatives, and not on civilians.The main reason behind the attack was to ensure large numbers of Hezbollah members would"not be able to fight and they will be occupied with helping the people" who have been injured, she said.

Now a lawyer for the unnamed man has told Hebrew-language media his client made"an error of judgment", reported the Times of Israel.
