Hezbollah has vowed to punish Israel after a deadly pager bomb attack that killed at least nine people and wounded more than 2,750 in Lebanon and Syria.
Israeli spies are accused of planting explosives in the handheld devices, which they then coordinated to detonate a series of explosives on Tuesday afternoon. It appears to have been a joint operation with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned “criminal Israeli aggression” and called the attack “a serious violation of Lebanese sovereignty.” Hezbollah said Israel was “fully responsible” for the explosions and warned the nation would be punished.
