Lebanon blamed Israel for attacks on Hezbollah's devices killed 37 and wounded around 3,000, wreaking bloody havoc on the militant group.

Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah addressed the nation Thursday in a televised speech, as Israeli warplanes flew over the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

Japanese wireless communication equipment-maker Icom said Thursday it cannot confirm whether a walkie-talkie used in the explosive attacks against Hezbollah was related to the company, noting the production and sales of that device and its battery were discontinued about a decade ago.
