Hundreds of Hezbollah members were injured in Lebanon when their communication pagers mysteriously exploded on Tuesday. The blasts occurred in southern Lebanon and Beirut’s southern suburbs, with eyewitnesses reporting widespread panic and numerous casualties.
While the cause of the explosions remains unconfirmed, several Lebanese security sources attribute the incident to Israeli hacking and remote detonation. However, Israel has not claimed responsibility.
Hezbollah officials described the incident as the “biggest security breach” the group has experienced in its ongoing conflict with Israel.
The pagers were reportedly the latest model recently acquired by Hezbollah, and some reports suggest the devices were called before detonation to ensure maximum casualties.
The Lebanese Health Ministry urged health workers to report to hospitals amid the crisis. The explosions mark a significant setback for Hezbollah and raise concerns about further escalation in the region.
