Lebanese media affiliated with Hezbollah attributed the incident to the IDF and claimed that the mysterious explosions were caused as a result of a hack of the terrorist group’s internal communications networks.
The unusual security incident has resulted in its commanders sending out instructions to members to throw away their pagers according to reports.
The IDF did not comment on the incident, which came just hours after the Israeli cabinet added the return of citizens displaced from their homes in northern Israel to the country’s war goals, bringing a potential major confrontation with Hezbollah closer to reality.
The Times of Israel report that Iran’s Ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, is among those to be injured in a detonation.
According to Israeli media reports, the heads of the country’s security agencies, including Mossad chief David Barnea, convened on Tuesday afternoon for “frantic” talks regarding the threat posed by Hezbollah.
