Beirut:
Several hundred people have been injured in Lebanon as thousands of pagers exploded, targeting US-designated terror group Hezbollah.
Hezbollah, which is banned both by the United States and the European Union is the political and military establishment in Lebanon and is backed by Iran.
Hezbollah has blamed Israel for the attack and has claimed that this is the “biggest security breach” it has faced.
All the pagers exploded nearly the same time, the Hezbollah has claimed.
The incident was the first of its kind since Hezbollah began trading near-daily fire with Israel in support of ally Hamas after the Palestinian militant group’s October 7 attack on Israel triggered the Gaza war.
