This is a developing story.
Over 1,000 Hezbollah operatives were wounded across Lebanon on Tuesday afternoon when their communication devices mysteriously exploded at around the same time, according to Reuters and local reports.
A Hezbollah source told the Qatari Al Araby Al-Jadeed: “Israel remotely hacked into Hezbollah’s unique communication devices and blew them up. There are injured; no deaths have been reported yet.”

According to Reuters, the terror group ordered its operatives to ditch all communication devices after hundreds sought treatment for their wounds.
Reports of the mysterious explosions came from across the country, including southern Lebanon, the Lebanon Valley and Mount Lebanon, with casualty numbers between several hundreds to over 1,000 being reported.
A Reuters journalist reported seeing at least 10 Hezbollah members with bleeding hand wounds in the group’s stronghold in the Dahiyeh neighborhood of Beirut, where most of the incidents appeared to be concentrated.
The Health Ministry in Lebanon instructed hospitals to be on the highest alert level to receive the wounded, and urged all Lebanese citizens who own the same type of communication device to dispose of it immediately.
Among those wounded in the explosions is the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, according to Iranian state-owned Mehr News.
According to reports, the devices that exploded weren’t regular phones, but beepers or pagers, which are harder to track and and may therefore be widely used by the terror group.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the pagers were received by Hezbollah in recent days, and that hundreds of its operatives use the devices.
A Hezbollah official cited by the WSJ said some operatives had felt the pagers heat up and threw them away before they exploded.
Reports of the as-of-now unexplained explosions occurred amid reports of “dramatic” discussions among Israel’s security establishment regarding the tense situation on Israel’s northern border.
