Hundreds of Hezbollah fighters injured after mass explosions — ReutersHospitals in Lebanon are overflowing with mostly Hezbollah terror group members being taken to hospitals. A mass pager blast has killed and injured thousands of militants and ordinary Lebanese.
There are currently eight known dead terrorists. At least 2,750 others, including the militants themselves, civilians and the Iranian envoy, have been seriously wounded, notably two girls aged 8 and 10.
The wave of programmed explosions lasted for about an hour. It is still unclear exactly how the devices managed to detonate remotely.
Lebanese authorities accused Israel of aggression, and Hezbollah promised to respond with "just punishment". The Israelis themselves have not commented on the incident.
Journalists spoke to an insider close to Hezbollah. He said the pager bombings are the biggest security lapse in the nearly year-long standoff with Israel.
