Exploding Pagers Kill Eight and Injure Thousands in Lebanon, Including Hezbollah Members

A series of explosions occurred in Lebanon on Tuesday, September 17, targeting pagers belonging to Hezbollah members, resulting in at least 12 deaths and over 3,000 injuries. The explosions were reportedly caused by explosives embedded in the pagers, which detonated when they received a routine message.

The recent explosion of pagers across Lebanon and Syria has resulted in at least 9 deaths and over 2,800 injuries, with many of the victims being members of the Hezbollah militia. The explosions are believed to have been caused by Israeli intelligence, which had implanted explosive material in a shipment of Taiwanese-made pagers imported into Lebanon. The pagers, which were used by hundreds of Hezbollah members, detonated simultaneously in various locations, including supermarkets, streets, and homes. The attack is seen as a significant escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, and has been condemned by the Hezbollah militia, which holds Israel "fully responsible" for the attack.

Multiple sources report that a series of mysterious blasts occurred in Lebanon and Syria, resulting in the deaths of at least eight people, including two Hezbollah fighters and a 10-year-old girl. The blasts were caused by the simultaneous explosion of handheld pagers, with dozens of Hezbollah members among the wounded. Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani was also injured in the blasts. The Lebanese government has condemned the incident, with the information minister accusing Israel of "Israeli aggression".
