Israel’s army released videos on Sept. 14 showing what were claimed to be strikes on various Hezbollah weapons storage facilities in Lebanon.
Lebanese health officials ordered the public Tuesday to avoid using handheld communication devices after militant group Hezbollah said pagers belonging to its members exploded across the country. The Iran-backed militant and political group said the explosions had killed 'a girl and two brothers' and injured 'a large number of people.' It added in a statement that the blasts had come from pagers belonging to “employees in various Hezbollah units and institutions.
It was unclear whether the explosions were part of a coordinated attack, which would represent a significant security breach for Hezbollah. As of late Tuesday afternoon local time, no one had taken responsibility for the series of explosions, some of which appeared to have been captured on CCTV video and shared on social media. Israeli officials did not immediately respond to request for comment.
