Lebanese media reported Tuesday afternoon that pagers belonging to Hezbollah operatives throughout Lebanon and Syria were hacked and remotely detonated. The exploding devices primarily wounded the Hezbollah terrorists and few civilians, other than family members of the operatives. The latest reports from the Lebanese Ministry of Health indicate at least 4,000 Hezbollah terrorists were wounded, including 500 in critical condition, and nine killed outright, all across Lebanon. Among the dead was the son of Hezbollah Parliament member Ali Ammar. Iran’s Ambassador to Lebanon was wounded in the attack, as were “senior Hezbollah leaders and their advisers,” according to the Saudi-owned Al Hadath news channel.

The explosions were caught on CCTV cameras throughout Lebanon.

The directed attacks spanned territory from southern Lebanon, including the coastal city of Tyre, Nabatieh, Bint Jbeil, Al-Hawsh, and as far north as Beirut, the Beka’a Valley, according to Al-Hadath and other Arab media. Reporter Amit Segal points out that more terrorists were killed in one moment today than in any day since October 7th.

At least 50 were wounded in Nabatieh alone, due to the exploding communications devices held by Hezbollah operatives, Al Arabiya reported.

The exploding communications devices were triggered using wireless technology, according to Al Jazeera. The devices themselves were new and updated during the war.

Israel was being blamed for the attack by the Hamas-linked Quds News Network, which claimed the explosions were the result of “Israeli malware”.

In a related story, the Shin Bet reports that Hezbollah attempted to assassinate a former Israeli senior security official. Hezbollah attempted to remotely detonate a bomb connected to a cell phone, with the attack planned to take place in the coming days.
