Lebanon Pager Terror Attack - Kalam Digest 6

Terror struck large swathes of Lebanon yesterday as hundreds of explosions went off all over the country. Hezbollah members' pagers (the communication device of choice since Israel easily hacks into smartphones) suddenly exploded in their pockets.

This left nearly 3,000 people injured - 200 in critical condition - and killed at least 11 people, including an 8-year-old girl, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

This comes in the midst of a dangerous escalation between Israel and Hezbollah, nearly one year into the war on Gaza sparked by the October 7 attack.
