Remote attack on pagers used by Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria caused their explosion; at least 8 nine people dead and more than 2,800 injured.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At least nine eight individuals, including a child, were killed and over 2,800 were injured due to the explosion of their pagers across Lebanon. A Hezbollah official told Reuters that this incident is the “biggest security breach” in nearly a year of conflict with Israel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The detonations occurred simultaneously across the country, and experts have proposed several hypotheses about the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Threat actors targeted the pagers because they are used by Hezbollah fighters to communicate in an attempt to avoid being tracked and localized by Israeli intelligence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Reuters<\/a>, one of the fighters killed was the son of a Hezbollah parliament member, and Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, sustained a minor injury from the pager explosions. The detonated pagers were the latest models recently introduced by Hezbollah, according to security sources.<\/gwmw><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pagers that exploded were the latest models brought by Hezbollah in recent months, the experts identified three different models targeted in the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
