:: September 17, 2024
The location was verified as a supermarket in Beirut, Lebanon from floor covering patterns and ceilings matching file photos of the store’s interior. The video is also date and time stamped.
Hundreds of members of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, including fighters and medics, were seriously injured when the pagers they use to communicate exploded, a security source told Reuters.
A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the “biggest security breach” the group had suffered during the nearly year-long war with Israel.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military to Reuters inquiries about the detonations.
