Thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah members exploded almost simultaneously across Lebanon on Tuesday, resulting in at least nine fatalities and thousands of injuries. The coordinated explosions occurred in various locations, including supermarkets, streets, cars, homes, and even barber shops, causing widespread panic and devastation.
Hezbollah has accused Israel of orchestrating the attack, labeling it a “sinful aggression” and vowing to retaliate. The exact method behind the attack remains unclear, but some experts suggest it could have been a sophisticated supply chain attack, where the pagers were tampered with during their manufacture or transit.
The impact on Hezbollah has been severe, with significant losses in manpower, communications, and morale. The Lebanese health ministry reported that around 2,750 people were injured, with 200 in critical condition. This incident marks a devastating blow to the organization and raises concerns about the security of communication devices used by militant groups.
As the investigation continues, the region remains on high alert, bracing for potential repercussions from this unprecedented attack on Hezbollah’s communication network.
