Several pagers carried by Hezbollah members abroad also exploded. Lebanon and Syria said Israel was behind the attack.
Explosions of communication equipment used by Hezbollah members have been recorded in Lebanon. It was reported by local media and TG channels.
It is known that the explosions took place in Dahiya, Nabatiya, Tire, Bekaa, Bint Jbeili and other places.
From Syria, particularly from Damascus, there were also reports of exploding paging devices by Hezbollah activists.
As the media writes, citing sources, the Israelis managed to remotely break the pagers of Hezbollah activists and detonate them, causing deaths and many injuries. Among the injured, there were torn fingers and hands and punctured stomachs.
Judging by the videos and photographs coming out of Lebanon, all or almost all of the injured were men. The explosions probably happened simultaneously or almost simultaneously.
According to the Lebanese TV channel owned by Hezbollah Al ManarIsraeli UAVs attacked targets in Al-Khiam in southern Lebanon.
The Lebanese Ministry of Health has announced an increase in the alert level in the country’s hospitals. The Red Cross in Lebanon announced the mobilization of 50 additional ambulances and 300 paramedics.
All citizens are called to immediately dispose of their pagers.
According to preliminary data, among those injured as a result of the pager explosion was the Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Khamenei, as well as those close to him.
Lebanon and Syria said Israel was behind the attack. Preliminarily, in this way, the IDF wants to deprive the Lebanese of communications before a full-scale attack, which world experts have been talking about in recent months.
Al Jazeera reporter Zeina Khodr said the attack was planned and carried out in advance with the help of US specialists.
Employees of one of the hospitals where specialists from the States worked said that about 10 days ago all the Americans threw away the pagers they used to communicate with local doctors and staff of medical facility.
Lebanese media accused the American University Hospital of being informed in advance of the cyberattack by Israel and the United States.
Israeli authorities said they were not involved in the cyber attack on Lebanon.
Let us recall that on September 4, approximately 65 rockets were fired from Lebanon into the Galilee region of northern Israel, some of which were intercepted.
Earlier, on the night of August 12, Lebanon launched approximately 30 rockets at Israel. Lebanese rockets were seen heading towards the Kabri area, and some of them landed in open areas.
It was also reported that Israel threatened Lebanon with a “destructive war” and named the condition for avoiding it.
