Hezbollah found itself in unprecedented chaos as an unexpected attack led to the explosion of thousands of pagers carried by its fighters and medics, according to sources familiar with the group's operations.
The explosions caused confusion and panic among Hezbollah members, known for their military discipline. Some members discarded their devices amidst the chaos, while others buried them. The attack prompted the group to raise its military readiness, fearing a larger offensive by Israel, which has increased its warnings of conflict escalation.
Hezbollah officials have described this as the most severe security breach in the group's history. The attack resulted in numerous casualties, with at least 12 dead and over 2,800 wounded.
