Exploding pagers kill nine and injure thousands in suspected Israeli attack on Hezbollah

The Telegraph  

Israel is suspected of being behind an audacious attack on Hezbollah commanders after nine people were killed and 2,750 wounded by the simultaneous explosion of pagers. Around 200 of the injured were said to be in a critical condition after what Iran-backed Hezbollah described as its biggest security breach since cross-border fighting broke out in the wake of the Oct 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, Hezbollah’s Palestinian ally. Lebanon’s prime minister and Hezbollah blamed Israel for the attacks, with the terror group vowing revenge. It came hours after Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, announced that Israel was broadening its aims in the current conflict to include the return of thousands of its citizens to homes near the border with Lebanon, which had been evacuated because of constant missile attacks.
