According to a statement released by the Islamic Resistance earlier on Tuesday, the group held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the "treacherous aggression" after concluding an internal investigation and analyzing the available data.
Hezbollah confirmed that the explosions, which affected multiple areas in the country, were the result of an Israeli cyberattack. The attacks left eight people dead, including a 10-year-old girl and two Hezbollah members, with an additional 2,750 people injured, 200 of whom remain in critical condition across 100 hospitals, according to Lebanon's Health Minister.
The Lebanese Resistance pledged to avenge the attack, warning that Israel would face retribution in ways "both expected and unforeseen." In its statement, Hezbollah emphasized that the attack would only strengthen the movement's resolve to support the Palestinian cause and continue its fight against Israeli aggression, particularly in solidarity with Gaza, the West Bank, and al-Quds (Jerusalem).
"The treacherous and criminal enemy will undoubtedly face its just punishment for this heinous attack," Hezbollah declared, promising a response that the Israeli occupation "cannot estimate or anticipate."
The explosions were the result of a major security breach involving pager devices used by Hezbollah members. This incident has intensified tensions in the region, as Hezbollah vowed to retaliate against the "heinous" act of aggression. (ILKHA)
