Dead and thousands injured as Israel blows up wireless communications devices in Lebanon

Israel, using high-tech technology, blew up the handheld wireless communication devices of Hezbollah members in the most densely populated area of Lebanon.

Lebanese media reported that “pagers exploded with their carriers in the southern suburbs of Beirut, the Bekaa in eastern Lebanon, and the south (Nabatieh, Al-Hawsh, Bint Jbeil, Tyre).”

Lebanese Health Minister Firas Abiad said: “8 people were killed and 2,750 were injured, including 200 in critical condition in 100 hospitals, as a result of the explosion.”

The Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was injured as a result of the explosion of communication devices in Lebanon.

The Iranian Mehr News Agency said, “There are sources that spoke about the injury of the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon as a result of an Israeli cyber attack that targeted Lebanon and Syria.”

For its part, the Iranian Fars News Agency confirmed that “the Iranian ambassador to Beirut sustained superficial injuries and was transferred to the hospital.”

It is noteworthy that the “pager” is “a paging device or a small electronic device that is easy to carry and is used to receive short messages or the number of the person trying to contact the device.”
