An explosion was heard during the funeral of Hezbollah members killed in Lebanon's pager explosions just a day earlier.

On September 18, a new wave of blasts involving hand-held radios used by Hezbollah rocked southern Lebanon and Beirut.

At least nine people were killed and over 300 injured in this second day of communication device detonations.

The death toll from the September 17 blasts stands at 12, including two children, with nearly 3,000 injured—among them Hezbollah fighters and Iran's envoy to Beirut.

Hezbollah and Lebanon blame Israel for the attacks.
Israel has not commented on the explosions.
