Simultaneous detonations of pagers occurred in Lebanon. The attack targeted devices carried by Hezbollah members. The pagers were from a new shipment that Hezbollah received recently, the Wall Street Journal reports.
At least nine people have died as a result of the attack. Lebanese hospitals report more than 3000 injured.
Iranian ambassador Mojtaba Amani in Beirut, Lebanon, was injured in the explosion of a communication device, Iranian media reported.
Just before pagers started exploding, Israeli Shin Bet claimed to have thwarted an attempted assassination against a former high-ranking Israeli security official with an improvised bomb, allegedly planned by Hezbollah.
Israel's Unit 8200 of Military Intelligence has allegedly carried out a cyberattack that led to the remote detonation of pager devices in Lebanon.
Many Hezbollah fighters carried pagers in their pockets and will have no use for 72 virgins anymore.
