Three hours after the pager attack in Lebanon, the extent of the destruction is being revealed with astronomical numbers of injuries across the country. The Lebanese Ministry of Health has provided an update indicating that more than 2,800 Hezbollah operatives were injured by the explosion of their communication devices, with 200 of them in critical condition. Estimates suggest that the number of fatalities may rise in the coming hours as the situation from Hezbollah’s bases and bunkers is still unclear. As time progresses, the extent of the damage to the organization's personnel will become clearer.
Approximately three hours after the pager attack, during which thousands of Hezbollah communication devices exploded simultaneously, causing thousands of injuries and fatalities across Lebanon, the terrorist organization Hezbollah has commented on the event, which caused widespread destruction and chaos. The organization stated that its members are investigating the circumstances of the incident.
According to the organization's statement: "At 3:30 PM, several communication devices of the Bager type exploded among the organization's personnel, leading to a large number of casualties and three fatalities so far. We are investigating the current incident and will announce its results. The organization is on high alert and readiness to defend Lebanon from any aggression."
The organization noted that "pager devices identified by some Hezbollah unit personnel exploded. A child and two of her siblings were killed, and there are many injured. Authorized personnel in Hezbollah are conducting a comprehensive security investigation to determine the circumstances leading to the simultaneous explosions, and medical services are treating the injured in several hospitals across different regions of Lebanon."
