House with solar panels on it engulfed in flames. Some blame Israel for attack on iPhones and solar panels in Lebanon. DW: claims are false.
Following the explosions of Hezbollah-targeted pagers and walkie talkies in Lebanon, rumors emerged suggesting that solar panels were also under attack.
Lebanon has been heavily reliant on solar energy due to frequent power outages caused by corruption in the energy sector. However, claims that Israel was responsible for causing solar panels to burst into flames have been debunked by fact-checkers at Deutsche Welle.
While Hezbollah and Iran accuse Israel of the attacks, DW confirms that only pagers and walkie-talkies have exploded in Lebanon, with no documented cases of solar panels catching fire.
Investors in portable solar power systems in Lebanon remain safe, provided they have not aided Hezbollah in any way.
