Hundreds of Hezbollah members wounded in Lebanon in mass pager hack.
Reports from Arab and Israeli media have said that over 1,200 people have been wounded.

 UPDATE: Lebanese Health Ministry says 8 people have been killed, including the son of a Hezbollah member of the Lebanese Parliament, and as many as 2,700 injured.

Hundreds of members of the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah were seriously wounded on Tuesday in Lebanon's south and the southern suburbs of Beirut when the pagers they use to communicate exploded, security sources told Reuters.
A Reuters journalist saw 10 Hezbollah members bleeding from wounds in the southern suburb of Beirut known as Dahiyeh.
Iranian ambassador Mojtaba Amani was reportedly injured in the explosion, according to state-owned Mehr News.
A senior Lebanese security source told Al-Hadath that Israel infiltrated the communication system of individual devices and detonated them.
According to reports, the phones were called before the explosion for some period of seconds to increase the chance that whoever received the call would pick it up and be maximally wounded.
The pagers detonated were the latest model brought in by Hezbollah in recent months, three security sources told Reuters.
A Hezbollah official cited by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) said that hundreds of members had such pager devices, and speculated that malware could have caused the device to heat up and explode. The same official cited by the WSJ reported that some people felt the pagers heat up, disposing of them before they exploded.
Additionally, the same report by WSJ quoted Hezbollah officials stating that the number of casualties was rising too quickly to count.
A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the "biggest security breach" the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel.

A Reuters journalist saw ambulances rushing through the southern suburbs of the capital, Beirut, amid widespread panic. Residents said explosions were taking place even 30 minutes after the initial blasts.
Lebanon's Health Ministry urged health workers to head to hospitals, according to the Arab media channel NBN.
An Al-Jazeera security source confirmed that communication devices carried by Hezbollah operatives exploded in several areas across Lebanon, not only in Beirut but also in Beqaa and southern Lebanon. Another Lebanese security source claimed that Israel hacked into Hezbollah's radio communication system and caused the explosions.
According to Al-Hadath, the IDF remotely detonated the communication devices using advanced technology. However, Israel has not taken responsibility for the explosions.
Hossein Mortada, a Hezbollah-affiliated journalist who works for the Syrian news agency Al-Alam, told individuals and media in Lebanon not to post any videos or photos of the event, especially of the wounded, in a post to X (Twitter).
