8 dead, 2700 injured as pager bombs explode across Lebanon targeting Hezbollah

| @indiablooms | 17 Sep 2024, 09:49 pm

Beirut/IBNS: At least eight people died and 2700 others received injuries in Lebanon as pagers exploded in a synchronised manner that was set to target US-designated terror group Hezbollah, media reports said.

Iran's state media reported that its Ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was also injured in the incident.

Hezbollah, which is banned both by the United States and the European Union, is a political and military establishment in Lebanon. The group is backed by Iran.

Hezbollah, meanwhile, backs Hamas, which has been at war with Israel in Gaza since October 2023.

The group 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, Hezbollah claimed, stating that this was an "Israeli breach" of its communications network.

This is the first such major incident since the group began trading fire with Israel almost every day in its support for Hamas which is at war with Israel in Gaza since the October 7 "terror attack" targeting Israeli nationals.
