Eight killed, 2,750 wounded by exploding pagers across Lebanon: Health Minister
More than a thousand people in Lebanon have been injured after hundreds of personal communication devices exploded simultaneously.
It’s believed most of the pagers were being carried by members of Hezbollah.
Hezbollah has called it one of the biggest security breaches since the group was formed.
Emergency departments have been inundated with injured Hezbollah members and civilians.
Local media report says the pagers simultaneously exploded across the country after being hacked by Israel.
The Health Ministry has appealed to all citizens who own pagers to dispose of them.
