Israel-Hamas war: At least 9 die, thousands injured in serial explosions in pagers of Hezbollah members in Lebanon

There have been serial explosions in the pagers of Hezbollah members in Lebanon. According to media reports, at least 9 people have died and thousands injured in this incident. Israeli hacking is being claimed behind these explosions. However, Israel has not given any reaction.

At least nine people have been confirmed dead in this incident. Lebanon's Health Ministry has said that so far 2750 people have been injured in this incident. According to the ministry, 200 of them are in critical condition.

Hezbollah has held Israel responsible for these attacks. Issuing a statement, the Hezbollah group said that they will give appropriate punishment for this.

Hezbollah has said in its statement that 'the enemy will definitely be punished for this attack, we will continue to fully support the struggle of the Palestinian people.'

Reports said that the Hezbollah chief present in Syria has also been targeted. The Iranian ambassador has also been injured in the attack.

Hezbollah, which is banned both by the United States and the European Union, is the political and military establishment in Lebanon and is backed by Iran. Hezbollah backs Hamas, which has been at war with Israel in Gaza since October 2023.

Hezbollah has blamed Israel for the attack and has claimed that this is the "biggest security breach" it has faced yet. All the pagers exploded nearly the same time, the Hezbollah has claimed, saying that this is an "Israeli breach" of its communications network.

First such major incident 

Hezbollah strongholds across Lebanon have been hit by the "Israeli breach". This is the first such major incident since the group began trading fire with Israel almost every day in its support for Hamas.

Lebanon's official National News Agency called it "an unprecedented enemy security incident" with "handheld pagers detonating" at nearly the same time across Lebanon.

Hezbollah communicates through its own telecommunications system and has asked its members to avoid using mobile phones since the Gaza war began almost a year ago. The diktat was issued to avoid Israeli breaches of the technology.
