Eleven people were killed and thousands injured after handheld pagers used by Hezbollah members exploded across Lebanon on Tuesday, according to reports.
Hezbollah blamed Israel for the “criminal aggression,” vowing retaliation, while Israel declined to comment. Here’s a video showing what happened.
Munitions experts suggested the pagers may have been packed with military-grade explosives triggered by an alphanumeric text message.
Israel has said it wants to secure the Lebanon border and allow its residents to return, which requires security against Hezbollah. Israeli leaders say they anticipate a major response from the terrorist group.
