“Explosions Shake Lebanon Resulting in Injuries to Hundreds of Hezbollah Members”
The attack seems to have targeted Hezbollah, with reports indicating that fighters, doctors, and even a diplomat have been affected. According to the Iranian news agency Mehr, Mojtaba Amani, the ambassador to Lebanon, was among those impacted.
## A Tragic Outcome
Hezbollah reported to the Wall Street Journal that numerous explosions occurred in southern Lebanon, Beirut, and surrounding areas. Lebanon’s Health Minister, Firas Abiad, stated that the number of victims is likely to be in the hundreds, with eight confirmed deaths and 2,750 injuries. Videos and images of the explosions circulated on social media, showing the devastating impact on individuals in various settings.
The explosive devices, possibly infected with malware, were part of a recent shipment intended for Hezbollah fighters. Some individuals noticed the devices heating up before the explosions and disposed of them. The attackers remain unidentified, but given Hezbollah’s conflict with Israel and previous incidents, there are suspicions of Israeli involvement.
Israel has not acknowledged any responsibility for the attacks in Lebanon, maintaining silence on the matter amid escalating tensions in the region.
