Hezbollah Members Wounded In Lebanon As Thousands Of Pagers Explode

The explosions come amidst the ongoing violence between Hezbollah and Israel, which has intensified since the outbreak of the Gaza war last October. The situation remains fluid, with reports of further detonations in southern Lebanon and the capital, Beirut.

A Reuters journalist reported ambulances racing through the southern suburbs of Beirut, with widespread panic gripping the area. Residents recalled that explosions continued even 30 minutes after the initial blasts.

Groups of people gathered outside buildings, checking on those who might have been injured. Regional CCTV footage showed small handheld devices exploding in various locations, including a grocery store and a market.

Lebanon’s crisis operations centre, managed by the health ministry, has urged all medical personnel to report to hospitals to handle the influx of wounded. The centre has advised healthcare workers to refrain from using pagers to avoid further incidents.
