People in Lebanon are living in fear after two days of attacks on Hezbollah-owned devices, raising concerns of a war with Israel. Residents are disconnecting their appliances and keeping their cellphones away from them due to fears of unexpected explosions. The attacks, which killed dozens and injured thousands, were an apparent attack by Israel on members of Hezbollah. The explosions have heightened fears of a major war between Israel and Hezbollah, who have exchanged thousands of missiles and rockets since the war in Gaza began. Lebanon's dominant military and political force, Hezbollah, is designated a terrorist group by Israel and the United States.
