A wave of terror has struck multiple cities in Lebanon and Syria due to pager blasts. Hundreds of pagers exploded within an hour across various cities. According to recent reports, 12 people have died, including 10 Hezbollah fighters. Additionally, over 4000 people are reported injured. After the pager attack, Hezbollah accused Israel's intelligence agency Mossad of orchestrating the plot and has threatened retaliation.
The main target was Beirut, particularly Daahiya, Bekaa, Nabatiyeh, Bint Jbeil, southern Beirut, and southern Lebanon. In Syria, around 100 blasts caused panic in various areas. Hezbollah MP Ali Ammar's son was also killed in the pager blasts. Additionally, Iran's ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, sustained serious injuries to his eye.
