Reports from Lebanese state media NNA and other sources indicate that dozens of members of the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah were wounded on Tuesday due to explosions involving their pagers. The incident has prompted Lebanon's Ministry of Health to issue a warning urging citizens to dispose of their pagers and advising hospitals to be on high alert.
The explosions took place in the southern suburb of Beirut known as Dahiyeh, with additional incidents reported in the towns of Ali Al-Nahri and Riyaq in Lebanon's central Beqaa valley. According to NNA, the explosions were linked to 'hacked' pager devices, resulting in a significant number of injuries among Hezbollah members.
