Israel's defence minister declares a 'new phase' of war after explosions rock Lebanon for two consecutive days. The focus has shifted towards the northern front, with forces being diverted and resources being allocated. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to return residents to their homes safely, while the Israeli army chief mentions undisclosed capabilities that will be deployed. The explosions involved communication devices used by Hezbollah members, and the group accuses Israel of a breach of its communications system. Concerns about a full-scale war between Hezbollah and Israel have been raised.
