Dead, injured in new explosion of communication devices in Lebanon

Roya's correspondent reported on Wednesday that initial information indicates the explosion of several communication devices in southern Lebanon.

The blast has resulted in the deaths of nine individuals and injured more than 300 people as of the time of this report. Over 30 ambulances are involved in transporting the injured.

Two individuals were hurt on the Hosh al-Ghanam road in the town of Ali al-Nahri in Baalbek-Hermel when one device exploded, and another device detonated inside a car in Jdeideh Marjayoun, near the cemeteries.

Many injured individuals have been hospitalized following a new cyber attack that targeted not only pagers but also other wireless communication devices.

The devices involved were identified as Icom V82 models, distinct from the wireless pager devices that exploded on Tuesday.

The previous explosion caused the deaths of 11 Lebanese and injured over 3,000 people. 

Axios reported that Israeli Occupation detonated Hezbollah's pager devices in Lebanon and Syria on Tuesday due to fears that Hezbollah might discover the devices.

This action came amid rising tensions between Israeli Occupation and Hezbollah, with the latter vowing retaliation for the attack, which killed at least nine people and injured 2,800.

Israeli Occupation officials decided to act quickly to avoid the risk of Hezbollah uncovering the devices, aiming to use the surprise attack as a strategic advantage in their broader conflict.
