Eight people are killed and nearly 3,000 are injured after hundreds of personal communication devices exploded simultaneously. It's believed most of the pagers were being carried by members of Hezbollah.
Emergency departments have been inundated with injured Hezbollah members and civilians. Local media report says the pagers simultaneously exploded across the country after being hacked by Israel.
The Health Ministry has appealed to all citizens who own pagers to dispose of them.
Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara calls Israel’s cyber attack on Hezbollah a major escalation, describing it as an act of mass terror.
BREAKING: The hospital of the American University in Beirut, Lebanon reportedly took all pagers of its nurses and doctors about 10 days ago, and “replaced them due to technical issues”, according to employees.
This latest shipment of pagers was held in Israel and the tiny explosive devices were added before shipping on to Lebanon. Made by Motorola.
Edward Snowden accuses Israel of tеrrorism
“What Israel just did is - regardless of method, reckless. They blеw up countless number of people who were driving, shopping (your children in the stroller behind in the checkout line), et cetera. Indistinguishable from tеrrоrism.”
Update:
Taiwan claims that the pagers that exploded in Lebanon were manufactured by a European company under a Taiwanese brand name.
The European company planted small explosive material in the pagers.
Israeli media have reported the terrorist attack on Lebanon was an MOSSAD Operation that involved planting 20 grams of Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) into Motorola pagers in Tel Aviv.
The MOSSAD Operation installed them 5 months ago then sent the devices to Lebanon.
These pager devices were mainly used in hospitals by Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics
