On Tuesday, more than 1,000 people, including Hezbollah fighters and medics, were injured across Lebanon after a series of explosions involving communication pagers used by Hezbollah, according to security sources.
The explosions, which occurred in various parts of the country, have been described as one of the largest security breaches Hezbollah has faced in the ongoing conflict with Israel.
The detonations took place as Hezbollah and Israel have been engaged in cross-border warfare since the Gaza conflict erupted in October.
Tensions have been steadily rising between the Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israeli forces, leading to ongoing clashes and casualties on both sides.
The cause of the pager explosions remains unclear, though Hezbollah has pointed fingers at Israel.
The pagers, which were distributed to Hezbollah members in recent months, exploded simultaneously across several regions, including Beirut’s southern suburbs, a stronghold of the group.
The explosions occurred at around 3:45 p.m. local time, with reports suggesting that the blasts lasted for nearly an hour.
It remains unclear how the devices were triggered, but security sources confirmed that advanced technology was used in the detonation.
A Reuters journalist on the scene witnessed ambulances rushing through Beirut’s southern neighborhoods, where the explosions caused widespread panic.
People with injuries to their faces, hands, and limbs were seen arriving at local hospitals. Dr. Hassan Wazni, head of Nabatieh Public Hospital in southern Lebanon, reported that around 40 injured individuals were being treated for various wounds.
Footage from the aftermath showed several of the explosions occurring near public areas, including grocery stores and markets, further heightening tensions in the region.
The Lebanese Red Cross confirmed that over 50 ambulances and 300 medical personnel were dispatched to assist with evacuating the wounded and providing emergency care.
An anonymous Hezbollah official told Reuters that the detonation of the pagers marked the group’s “biggest security breach” since the conflict with Israel intensified.
He accused Israel of orchestrating the attack, citing the fact that the devices exploded simultaneously in different parts of the country.
The official also noted that the new pagers, which were equipped with lithium batteries, appeared to have been tampered with before being distributed to Hezbollah fighters.
Military analyst Elijah Magnier speculated that the pagers had been targeted because Hezbollah uses them to avoid Israeli interception of communications, a strategy aimed at preventing Israel from tracking movements and conducting targeted strikes.
The Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was reportedly injured in one of the blasts, though this could not be independently confirmed by Reuters.
Iran’s Mehr news agency reported the incident, but details about the extent of the ambassador’s injuries remain unknown.
The pager explosions come amid an ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel that has escalated since the Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7.
Hezbollah has been exchanging fire with Israeli forces along the Lebanon-Israel border since October 8, with both sides suffering significant casualties.
Reports indicate that over 500 people, including many Hezbollah fighters, have been killed in Lebanon since the conflict began, while 23 Israeli soldiers and 26 civilians have died in northern Israel due to Hezbollah attacks.
In recent days, Hezbollah has intensified its support for Hamas, with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah receiving a letter of gratitude from Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
The letter, dated September 13, praised Hezbollah for its continued support in the war against Israel, highlighting the close coordination between the two Iran-backed groups.
Hezbollah’s involvement in the conflict has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation in the region.
The group’s cross-border attacks are widely seen as part of a broader strategy to pressure Israel from multiple fronts.
For years, Hezbollah and Iran have provided financial and military support to Hamas, and their current actions suggest an ongoing alliance in the fight against Israel.
Lebanese authorities have been coordinating with local and international organizations to handle the fallout from the explosions.
The country’s internal security forces confirmed that a number of wireless communication devices had detonated across Lebanon, particularly in Beirut’s southern suburbs, leading to injuries.
Hospitals in the region have been overwhelmed with the number of wounded, and the Lebanese health ministry’s crisis operations center called on all medical staff to report to their respective hospitals to help manage the surge in patients.
The Israeli military has declined to comment on the accusations made by Hezbollah, and it remains unclear whether Israel was involved in the detonation of the pagers.
The situation has sparked further international concern, as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah show no sign of de-escalating in the near future.
As the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel continues to unfold, the pager explosions serve as a stark reminder of the growing complexity of the war.
Both sides remain locked in a dangerous escalation, with no clear resolution in sight.
