Exploding Pagers Injure Hundreds of Hezbollah Members

“Pagers carried by thousands of Hezbollah operatives exploded at about the same time Tuesday afternoon, leaving more than 2,700 injured and eight dead in an unprecedented event that struck across Lebanon,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The affected pagers were from a new shipment that the group received in recent days.”

Washington Post: “The apparent attack came as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have soared on the Lebanese border following months of tit-for-tat strikes that have displaced tens of thousands of people in both countries.”
