Explosions took place in pagers
Let us tell you that, earlier on Tuesday, there were explosions in pagers in several places in Syria including Lebanon’s capital Beirut. At least nine people, including an eight-year-old girl, were killed and about 3,000 people were injured in the explosions in pagers. An American official, on the condition of anonymity, said that Israel had informed the US about this after the operation was over. Hezbollah has blamed Israel for the pager explosion and has threatened to take revenge.
Israel’s warning
On October 7 last year, Israel was attacked by militants of the terrorist organization Hamas. Since then, there has been almost daily firing between Hezbollah and the Israeli army. So far, hundreds of people have been killed in Lebanon in firing and attacks, while dozens of people have also lost their lives in Israel. Thousands of people have also been displaced from both sides of the border. Israeli leaders have issued warnings several times in recent weeks, saying that the campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon could intensify.
