Stand for Israel  |  September 17, 2024

More than 1,000 Hezbollah operatives were injured, according to some Arabic media reports, in what appears to be a coordinated attack on the terrorist group:

A series of explosions were reported in the Dahieh area of Beirut on Tuesday afternoon, leaving many injured.

According to Lebanese reports, dozens of people were killed in the explosions. Dahieh is known as a Hezbollah stronghold.

According to Sky News, encrypted communications equipment used by Hezbollah for internal messaging exploded. Reuters reported that Hezbollah only began using the beeper devices in question within the last few months; Al-Hadath reported similarly.

While senior Lebanese officials have alleged that Israel is to blame for the attack, Israel has not claimed responsibility.
