At least eight people have died and over 2,750 have been injured after pager devices owned by workers in Hezbollah units and institutions exploded. The explosions resulted in the martyrdom of a girl and two brothers, and injured a large number of people.
Around 200 of the injuries were critical, requiring surgery, with most affecting the face, hand, or abdomen. Hezbollah is conducting a security and scientific investigation to determine the causes. The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health has instructed hospitals to be on maximum alert.
