JAKARTA - Israeli jets issued a massive sonic boom in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, as Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah gave a speech.

Lebanese residents who were already nervous after the explosion of pagers and walkie-talkies, panicked because they were afraid of a large escalation.

Israeli warplanes have flown low several times over Beirut by releasing sonic booms.

When the plane emits a sound, it emits accreted wave around it. When the pilot accelerates and exceeds the speed of sound, it breaks this wave in a certain way.

This is what gives rise to an explosion-like sound. This explosion can break windows, drop objects. It's like a very strong gust of wind, which lasts less than a second.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in his speech, Thursday, September 19, said Israel's deadly attack that blew up Hezbollah's radio and pager violated all red lines.

"There is no doubt that we have suffered a major unprecedented blow to security and military in the history of resistance and unprecedented in Lebanese history," Nasrallah said.

"The killings, targeting, and crimes of this kind may never have happened before in the world," he continued. "The enemy goes beyond all control, law, and morals," he said.

Hezbollah said the Israeli attack could be considered a war crime.
