The simultaneous explosion of Hezbollah's electronic pagers injured at least 2,800 people in Lebanon, marking the worst mass casualty incident during the ongoing war.
Hezbollah's health officials declared a state of emergency as hospitals were overwhelmed with casualties, prompting appeals for blood donations and directing health workers to mobilize.
In a striking move, the Israeli military did not confirm responsibility for the pager explosions in Lebanon, but Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate for the attack.
The event has escalated tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, further entwined with the protracted conflict related to the war in Gaza.
