At least 9 dead, hundreds injured as Hezbollah is hit by a wave of exploding pagers in Lebanon, Syria

Hundreds of handheld pagers exploded near simultaneously in parts of Lebanon and Syria on Tuesday (September 17, 2024), killing at least nine people — including members of the militant group Hezbollah and a young girl — and wounding several thousand, officials said. They pointed the finger at Israel in what appeared to be a sophisticated, remote attack.

Among those wounded was Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon. The mysterious incident came amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah, which have exchanged fire across the Israel-Lebanon border since the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas that sparked the war in Gaza.
