18.09.2024The day of the exploding walkie-talkies
The day began with reports of Israel's covert operation against Hezbollah, involving explosive devices planted in pagers. By afternoon, a new wave of explosions hit Hezbollah's walkie-talkies in Lebanon, causing multiple casualties. The death toll rose throughout the day, reaching 20 by evening. This escalation follows previous attacks on Hezbollah's communication devices. Domestically, political tensions rose as Feijóo accused Sánchez of Franco-like censorship over a proposed anti-disinformation plan. The CIS poll showed increased support for Sánchez and growing concern about immigration. The INE revised GDP figures upward. In sports, Spain won its second match in the Futsal World Cup against New Zealand.
