BREAKING: Dozens of Hezbollah members wounded in Lebanon when pagers exploded, sources and witnesses say |
Dozens of members of the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah were seriously wounded on Tuesday in Lebanon’s south and the southern suburbs of Beirut when the pagers they use to communicate exploded, security sources told Reuters. A Reuters journalist saw 10 Hezbollah members bleeding from wounds in the southern suburb of Beirut known as Dahiyeh. A senior Lebanese security source told Al-Hadath that Israel infiltrated the communication system of individual devices and detonated them. Iranian ambassador Mojtaba Amani was reportedly injured in a Hezbollah explosion, according to state-owned Mehr News. A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the “biggest security breach” the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel. According to reports, the phones were called before the explosion for some period of seconds to increase the chance that whoever received the call would pick it up and be maximally wounded. The pagers detonated were the latest model brought in by Hezbollah in recent months, three security sources told Reuters. |
