On Tuesday, thousands of pagers used by terrorists affiliated with Hezbollah in Lebanon detonated unexpectedly and simultaneously in their hands and pockets.
At least eight people were slain and over 2,700 injured, with over 200 of them in critical condition, according to Lebanese Health Minister Firas Abiad.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the terrorist organization with Iranian support recently received a fresh supply of pagers. It is thought that they were infected with software that purposefully caused them to overheat and explode, even if it was not immediately evident what caused them to burst.
Several videos that were uploaded on the internet captured the exact moment the pagers burst in the terrorists’ pockets and hands.
Pagers burst in Syria, where Hezbollah maintains a presence, according to a news agency connected to Iran’s IRGC, a proscribed terrorist organization, as reported by the New York Times. According to the report, the explosions claimed the lives of seven persons.
Following Hamas’ historic terrorist strike on October 7, which claimed 1,200 lives inside Israel, the terrorist organization has been firing thousands of rockets, missiles, and suicide drones against Israel for the past year.
Israel’s intelligence agencies declared on Tuesday that they had thwarted Hezbollah’s attempt to kill a former senior Israeli security official within the next few days by employing a remotely detonated explosive device.
