Wednesday Briefing: Exploding Pagers Kill at Least 9 in Lebanon
Briefly

Hezbollah reported that pagers belonging to its members exploded across Lebanon, killing at least nine people and injuring over 2,700, accusing Israel of responsibility.
Videos from the scene captured moments of chaos, with witnesses describing small blasts from people's pockets and comparing them to gunshots or fireworks.
The escalation follows warnings from Israeli leaders about increasing military actions against Hezbollah, reflecting concerns about a potential larger war in the region.
