Hamas accuses Israel of new Lebanon blasts, says they threaten region's stability

Hamas blamed Israel for a new wave of explosions in Lebanon on Wednesday, where walkie-talkies exploded in Hezbollah strongholds, killing 14 people and wounding more than 450.

"We strongly condemn the renewed and ongoing Zionist aggression against the brotherly Lebanese people," Hamas said in a statement. 

The group added that the attack, occurring a day after Hezbollah pagers exploded, killing 12 people and wounding 2,800, "now threatens the security and stability of the region."
