Hassan Nasrallah says pager and walkie-talkie detonations are ‘major security and military blow’
Israel struck targets along Lebanon’s southern border on Thursday as the leader of the Hizbollah militant group said the Jewish state had crossed “all red lines” with this week’s mass detonations of communication devices. Hizbollah has blamed the explosions of pagers and walkie-talkies across Lebanon, which killed 32 people and injured thousands, on Israel.
At the same time Israel’s military said it was striking Hizbollah targets in Lebanon, which Lebanese media said spanned the width of the two countries’ border. Nasrallah said: “On Tuesday, Israel simultaneously exploded thousands of pagers — they crossed all red lines.” He said some of the explosions took place in “hospitals, pharmacies, markets, shops, homes, cars, streets where there are many civilians, women and children”.
