The United States says it is involved in intensive diplomatic efforts to prevent a further escalation in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
More than 32 people were killed and 2,450 people injured after thousands of walkie-talkies and pagers exploded in Lebanon.
Multiple sources say Israel’s Mossad spy agency was targeting Hezbollah members, but Israel has not commented on the blasts.
On Wednesday, Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant announced "a new phase in the war”.
The UN General Assembly has also adopted a Palestinian-drafted, non-binding resolution demanding Israel end "its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory" within 12 months.
