Thousands of Hezbollah fighters have been targeted in a complex cyber attack across Lebanon, causing pagers to simultaneously explode in pockets across the country.
A Hezbollah official told Reuters that the incident constituted their "biggest security breach yet" as Lebanese officials said that more than 2700 people were injured in the attacks, with as many as 200 in serious condition in hospital.
A journalist for the news agency saw Hezbollah terrorists bleeding from wounds in the southern suburb of Beirut, which is the primary stronghold of Hezbollah.
Hundreds of similar incidents were reported, with a Lebanese security source telling Al Jazeera that explosions weren’t limited to Beirut and took place across Lebanon, including in the Beqaa Valley and the south of the country.
