Horror moment Hezbollah walkie-talkie explodes during Lebanon funeral
Alarming footage captures the moment a Hezbollah radio exploded during a funeral for four of the terror group’s fighters in Lebanon.
The fighters were killed on Tuesday during a wave of remote-controlled pager blasts carried out by Israeli spies across the country.
Now, Israel has declared a “new phase” of war after as many as 450 were wounded and at 14 reportedly left dead by a second wave of exploding electronic devices across multiple regions of Lebanon.
And one of these blasts was at the funeral in southern Lebanon. Footage shows militants panic and flee and ambulances race to the scene. Hundreds of mourners clad in black are pictured against a backdrop of Hezbollah’s trademark yellow and green.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ new life inside jail where Ghislaine Maxwell was held
Hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sent to the same notorious jail Ghislaine Maxwell was held – described as more “restrictive” than America’s only supermax prison.
The musician is being detained at New York’s Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), which housed the disgraced British socialite before she was convicted of sex trafficking.
Diddy is in jail after he was denied bond. He has been charged with abusing women for more than a decade and presiding over a sordid empire of sexual “Freak Offs”. Today the 54-year-old woke for the first in the MDC – a jail known for its brutal, sometimes fatal, conditions.
During her time inside, Maxwell’s lawyers claimed she was held in harsher conditions than the world’s most heinous criminals. Attorneys for Prince Andrew’s pal said conditions inside the MDC are more “restrictive” conditions than supermax prison, ADX Florence.
At one point, they said the threats were so great against her that a $1 million bounty had been placed on her head while inside.
