NextImg:2,700+ Dead Or Injured After Pagers Used By Hezbollah Explode

Thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon exploded simultaneously in their hands and pockets on Tuesday without warning.

Lebanese Health Minister Firas Abiad said more than 2,700 people were injured — 200+ of whom are in critical condition — and at least eight people were killed.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the Iranian-backed terrorist group received the pagers in a new shipment in recent days.

While it was not immediately clear what caused them to explode, it is believed that they were infected with malware that intentionally caused them to overheat and detonate, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Numerous videos posted online showed the moment that the pagers exploded in the terrorists’ hands and in their pockets.

The New York Times reported that pagers also exploded in Syria, where Hezbollah has a presence, according to a news agency affiliated with Iran’s IRGC, a designated terrorist group. The report claimed that seven people were killed in the blasts.

The incident comes as the terrorist group has fired thousands of rockets, missiles, and suicide drones at Israel over the last year following Hamas’ unprecedented terrorist attack, where they killed 1,200 people inside Israel on October 7.

Israel’s intelligence services announced on Tuesday that they had foiled a plan by Hezbollah to assassinate a former senior Israeli security official using a remotely detonated explosive device that was supposed to occur in the next few days.
