Hezbollah vows to punish Israel after pager blasts kill eight, injure thousands across Lebanon

The Israeli military, which has been engaged in cross-border warfare with Hezbollah since the start of the Gaza war last October, declined to respond to Reuters‘ questions about the detonations.
A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the “biggest security breach” the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of conflict with Israel.
Developments in Lebanon are extremely concerning, especially given the “extremely volatile” context, said UN spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, adding that the UN deplores any civilian casualties.
