At least eight people were killed and 2,750 wounded after pager explosions across Lebanon, according to the country’s health minister, Firass Abiad.
The Lebanese government sees Israel as responsible for the pager explosions and sees it as violation of Lebanese sovereignty, a Lebanese government spokesperson has reportedly said.
Electronic pager devices also exploded in Syria, according to multiple reports.
Seven people were killed from the blast targeting their devices in the Damascus neighbourhood of Seyedah Zeinab, Saberin News, an outlet affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported.
A number of Hezbollah members arrived at hospitals in Damascus after their devices exploded, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
