Thursday’s front pages continue to be dominated by the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. Electronic pagers across Lebanon exploded simultaneously on Sept. 17, 2024, killing 12 and wounding more than 2,700. The following day, another wave of explosions in the country came from detonating walkie-talkies. The attacks appeared to target members of the militant group Hezbollah.
Israel has yet to comment on the attack but on Wednesday Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared that the conflict had entered “a new phase.”
The ‘new phase’ comment is picked up by several of the broadsheets, whilst a handful of the tabloids report the Middle East is ‘on the brink’. Many of the papers look ahead at whether the latest developments will lead to a widening of the war – Lebanon is expected to retaliate.
