A thousand or more members of Hezbollah were reportedly injured when the pagers they use to communicate simultaneously exploded on Tuesday.
Lebanon’s state-run news agency said the blasts targeted people across Beirut.
A Hezbollah official told the National News Agency that it was the “biggest security breach yet” targeting the Iran-backed group, according to Reuters.
One of the blasts was caught on camera at a market.
Iranian Ambassador Lebanon Mojtaba Amani is among the injured, the Times of Israel reported.
Israel has been battling Hezbollah for months. It did not immediately take credit for the attacks.
But earlier in the day it said that halting Hezbollah’s attacks in the country’s north is now an official war goal, the Associated Press reported.
This is a developing story.
