OAN Staff James Meyers 10:17 AM – Tuesday, September 17, 2024
Hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists were injured in Lebanon on Tuesday after handheld pagers “exploded” in what the group claims was a targeted attack, according to a state media report.
Members of the terrorist organization confirmed the “wide-range attacks” on its operatives, including fighters and medics, with one member claiming its the “biggest security breach” since it began its attacks on the Jewish State began on October 8th.
Videos on social media caught the explosions on camera. Viewers can see the Hezbollah men, who had communication devices in their pockets, suddenly react after small explosions occur seemingly out of nowhere. Seconds later, Islamist terrorists began crying in pain as bystanders ran away in terror.
Among those injured when the pagers exploded included Iran’s ambassador in Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, Iranian state media reported.
BREAKING via Reuters
Hundreds of members of Hezbollah were seriously wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they used to communicate exploded.
Hezbollah officials are now claiming that Israel and the IDF were behind the “pager attacks,” while the Israeli military has not yet commented on the incidents.
“The enemy [Israel] stands behind this security incident,” a Hezbollah official told the Associated Press.
The pagers that detonated were reportedly the latest models that the terrorist organization had recently acquired and given to its members. Reuters was informed by several sources that there is now ongoing suspicion that someone or a group working for Israel had discreetly tampered with the devices.
Additionally, one Hezbollah official told a Middle Eastern correspondent working for the Wall Street Journal that some Hezbollah members felt their pagers quickly begin to heat up, so they disposed of them immediately before a detonation could occur.
The leader of the terrorist group, Hassan Nasrallah, previously warned his men of the possible dangers of carrying cell phones or pagers, claiming that their movements could be tracked or they could have a targeted strike carried out against them.
Nevertheless, who or what is behind the pager explosions has still not been revealed.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry has asked its emergency personnel treating the wounded to get rid of all their wireless devices. Additionally, local residents claimed that the explosions continued for “over 30 minutes” after the initial explosion.
Currently, no deaths have been reported as of Tuesday morning, but at least several casualties are expected after examining the Hezbollah members’ gruesome injuries, according to Lebanese Health Minister Firas Abiad.
The explosions come as Israel and Hezbollah have engaged in daily attacks over the border since the terrorist group joined Hamas in their joint effort against the Jewish state.

Evy Poumpouras, a former Secret Service agent, joins TODAY to break down the security response surrounding the assassination attempt of Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Biden regime is defending, and funding, UNRWA.
“IDF uncovers, destroys explosive devices in UNRWA kindergarten in West Bank,” Jerusalem Post, January 4, 2024:
Israeli security forces located and found and confiscated weapons and hundreds of explosive devices in the West Bank Nur Shams refugee camp inside a building that also housed a kindergarten run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), according to a Thursday IDF statement.
In addition, many weapons and other pieces of military equipment were confiscated and destroyed, besides those found in the kindergarten.
The operation was a joint effort between IDF reservist teams, the Shin Bet, and the Border Police and was the result of a 40-hour-long counter-terrorism operation in which hundreds of buildings were searched and hundreds of suspects were questioned, leading to 11 arrests.
Trapped building, car, and explosives surrounding
Forces searched a booby-trapped building, the lower floor of which housed a UNRWA-run kindergarten. The building also contained an operating system connected to explosives surrounding the building as well as on access roads leading to it.
A booby-trapped vehicle was also found near the building. It was destroyed along with the infrastructure inside the building and the explosives in the surrounding area….
The IDF discovery of explosives hidden inside UNRWA bags during raids of northern Gaza schools is nothing new. Hamas’ use of hospitals and schools to launch military operations is part of the Palestinian terrorist strategy of exploiting human shields.
The NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence established the limitless extent to which Hamas’ uses human shields — including artillery fire from heavily populated areas, schools, hospitals and mosques. They also hide jihad operatives in these areas.
Most of the world ignores these atrocities while the UN continues to aid and abet Hamas and Palestinian propaganda by continuously diverting attention away Hamas’ routine practice of using human shields. The tally of dead civilians in Gaza is caused intentionally by Hamas and blamed on Israel.
The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center also conducted research on Hamas’ abuse of the civilian population as human shields and its use of Gaza’s civilian facilities for terrorism. See HERE.
Hamas even encourages Gazan kids to pose beside its weapons and rocket launchers “for souvenir photos,” while teaching them to be “proud of the resistance.”
Many of the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists in Gaza who “were located hiding inside the Gaza schools…took part in the October 7 massacre” of Israeli citizens.
The vital necessity of Israel’s war in Gaza becomes ever more apparent.
“IDF finds explosives in UNRWA bags, clashes with Hamas in Gaza schools,” Jerusalem Post, December 25, 2023:
Israeli forces found dozens of explosive devices hidden inside UNRWA bags during a raid of northern Gaza schools where the IDF received intelligence of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorists hiding, the Israeli military said Monday.
Forces from the IDF’s Nahal Brigade raided al-Rafaa and Zavaha schools in the areas of Daraj and Tuffah, where they also found a host of Kalashnikov rifles and 15 explosive belts ready for use.
IDF: Terrorist killed after shooting anti-tank missile at forces
During an exchange of fire with terrorists, a cell fired an anti-tank missile at Israeli forces, the IDF said, before being gunned down by a precision strike missile….
After a recent visit to the Southern border, Republican senators are alerting the nation to a new domestic terror threat, and it involves illegal immigrants caught with bombs.
Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) claims that illegal immigrants have been busted crossing the border with explosives, which accordingto Barrasso were "tailor-made for terrorism."
FACTO-EL-RAMO During September 2023, 269,735 illegal immigrants crossed into the United States, the most for a single month in the history of the Southern border.
Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.) joined Barrasso on the border trip and to a press conference where Barrasso revealed that roughly eight million illegal immigrants have crossed the border since *President Joe Biden "won" the White House.
"We have just returned from our southern border, and it is painfully clear that with Joe Biden's open border policy, our country is really at an increased threat for a terrorist attack," Barrasso declared at Tuesday's presser, referring to the improvised explosive devices (IED) as roughly the size of cannonballs.
AMMO-RAMA! Civil War-era cannonballs came in many sizes and weights. It wasn't clear what size Barrasso was talking about.
Ricketts spoke at the press conference and stated that 18 people from the terror watch list were snagged at the border in September. No one knows how many snuck in undetected. A total of 172 terror suspects were busted in all of fiscal year 2022.
The aforementioned Republican senators aren't the only people sounding the terror alarm.
FBI Director Christopher Wray testified Tuesday that a number of terror groups have been calling for attacks since Hamas's savagery in Israel on October 7.

"The actions of Hamas and its allies will serve as an inspiration the likes of which we haven't seen since ISIS launched its so-called caliphate several years ago," Wray testified before Congress.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who is responsible for the Southern border and has stated numerous times that the border is secure, testified that more than 600,000 illegal immigrants snuck in during the last fiscal year.
MATH-O-RAMA! If just 1% of those 600,000 "gotaways" are terrorists, there could now be 6,000 terrorists in the country that the Joe Biden administration has allowed to enter.
Cornyn pointed out that no one knows who the "gotaways" are and that they may likely "have a good reason for running away from law enforcement."
As the world teeters on the edge of WWIII and terrorists attempt to sneak into the nation, it's important to realize that none of this is an accident. The Biden administration knows what it is doing. Illegal immigrants are being urged to enter the nation, not deterred. At the same time, Democrats are constantly chiseling away at our 2nd Amendment rights.
None of this is accidental. It's a prelude to a Marxist America, and you may not be on the guest list. Buy ammo.
