At least nine people have been killed and about 2,800 were injured with a wave of Hezbollah pagers explosions around Lebanon. Reports suggest that many of the blasts spread panic in the country by targeting different locations, including southern suburbs and marketplaces. Among the victims, there is an eight-year-old girl; over 200 people are reported to be in critical condition, with urgent surgery needed.
More than 50 ambulances and 300 medical staff have been mobilized by the Lebanese Red Cross to treat the disaster, while blood donation drives have been launched to address the heavy inflow of wounded cases.
A Hezbollah official described the incident as the “biggest security breach” in nearly a year, suspecting that the Hezbollah pagers explosions around Lebanon were the result of Israel’s recent covert operations.
The group alleges that the Israeli army deliberately used tampered devices, such as pagers, to carry out the attacks. Security sources said that pagers had recently been brought into Lebanon. Witnesses said that handheld devices and pagers blew up in crowded places, a grocery and a fruit stand, casting fear over Beirut.
Hezbollah pagers explosions around Lebanon caused due to hacking
But in response, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, was left unscathed but two Hezbollah fighters were confirmed dead. The Israeli military declined to comment on the blasts and Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon sustained minor injuries in the explosions.
The blasts follow several weeks of lingering tensions in the region stemming from the Israel-Hamas war, which started with a cross-border attack by Hamas on October 7. Retaliatory airstrikes and fierce land operations by Israel have killed more than 41,252 Palestinians and injured 95,497. Zionists are naming the aggressive campaign a “big win” for Israel. Meanwhile, there have been questions about whether Israel hacked Lebanese devices to coordinate the deadly explosions.
The mounting violence continues to draw the rising civilian deaths into the public view, with international demands for a ceasefire escalating.
