A series of pager explosions across Lebanon killed at least nine people and injured over 150, including Hezbollah fighters and a young girl. The blasts occurred at 3:30 p.m. local time, when newly acquired pagers, used by Hezbollah members to avoid mobile phone surveillance, began heating up before exploding. The militant group has blamed Israel for the security breach, though no official claim has been made. Videos captured the horrifying moment in a Beirut market where one explosion erupted from a man’s pocket, causing panic among shoppers.
