Iran’s envoy to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, sustained minor injuries on Tuesday due to the detonation of an electronic pager, as reported by Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency.
This incident coincided with multiple explosions of similar devices throughout Lebanon. According to a source cited by Fars, “Amani has a superficial injury and is currently being monitored in a hospital.”
Security sources informed Reuters that over 1,000 individuals in Lebanon, including Hezbollah members and medical personnel, were injured on Tuesday as a result of the pager explosions.
An anonymous Hezbollah official stated that the activation of the pagers represented the most significant security breach the organization has experienced in almost a year of conflict with Israel.
Hezbollah, a formidable Lebanese Islamist militia and political entity supported by Iran, is a declared adversary of Israel.
