Iranian news agency Mehr reported that the Iranian
ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was injured in an explosion involving a
wireless communication device.
Security sources told Reuters that over 1,000 injuries have
been reported across Lebanon due to the device explosions.
Activists shared dozens of images and videos showing injured
young men in the streets amid widespread panic among residents caused by the
mysterious blasts targeting mobile communication devices used by Hezbollah
members.
Reports of injuries came from southern Beirut, the Bekaa
Valley, and southern Lebanon, with conflicting information regarding the number
of casualties, which are believed to be in the hundreds.
Lebanese security sources expressed suspicion that the
incident resulted from an Israeli infiltration that caused the devices'
batteries to explode.
A Reuters journalist witnessed ten Hezbollah members
bleeding from their injuries in southern Beirut.
A Lebanese security source stated that Israel accessed
Hezbollah's communication system and caused the explosions, adding that calls
were made for party members to discard their devices.
