Lebanese health minister Firas Abiad said 2,750 people had been wounded in the explosions, 200 of them critically.

Who attacked who in the month of October?
Kya baat hai israel ..ghar baithe baithe kaam tamam
'His bollocks' are hurting right now.
The Arabs are so stupid, rather than be friends with Israel and learned from them how to
improved their lives NO they choose to fight them and remain stupid, they may strikes back
so will Israel Hezbollah started wit Iran, one or all will die
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why are they using pagers anymore over there? It's like USA in the 1980's before cell phones. We got a page and went to a phone booth. Now everyone is worried their cell phone might explode over this pager thing.
This might not have been the work of Israel. Perhaps another entity wants to trigger war in the Middle-East so it set this up to increase tensions. Some of the terrorists Democrats smuggled into the USASSR in the last 3.5 years may have been imported because they know how to rig electronic devices to go Boom. Things could get fugly soon. Vote all Democrats out of office in November 2024.

They can do this, but not predict the attack that started this nonsense?
Religion of peace vs other religions of peace.
Only the terrorists had pagers normal citizens use cell phones
Mossad is having a sale on turbans.
Nethanyhu and the Mossad are worst them Winestien, Epstien and Madoff together-time will say!!!
And?
Who are they hell to use pagers dear viewers .even then telling to media ohhhh .fuccc
🤣
I wonder if Obamas pager exploded also?
Most of the pager holders were probably like. W T F mate where are the fifty V……
What really astounds me is that there are still people using pagers
Am I the only one sick and tired of the threatening tone in this accent? The arrogance is just too much. It’s good Israel is standing against their bullying!
Civilians using pagers,they think us idiots
Don't F××k with the Mosad.
Virgin Mobile at it again.
It's Hard to believe that Hezbollah would buy pagers from Israeli
Isreal sure knows how to send a message!
Shame on Sky News for pushing the Israel trope that ONLY Hezbollah were targetted by these exploding pagers, IED's. Innocent civilians were injured in public spaces by Israeli terrorists. It's all on CCTV.
If Israel had done this in London, Washington,Paris etc. against innocent civilians shopping in a market,there would be US,UK outrage from politicians and repercussions.
If Iran or Russia rigged exploding IED's terrorist attack in London, NewYork, punishment would be on the cards. But Zionist Israel gets impunity!
Don't insult us with your pro-Zionist propaganda, Sky. This isn't about Hezbollah.
That's distraction from desperate collapsing, lunatic Israel committing Holocaust on 5 million Palestinians actively aided and abetted by USG.
Don't degrade or embarrass yourself Sky.
They want to point a finger at Isreal. No way

WTF is Lebanon? it is not a sovereign country thats from sure.
Their "country" is firing rockets and anti tank missiles at Israel from 8th October. Yet their people don't seem to feel any responsibility for this.
"It is Hezbollah" they say… well were does Hezbollah fires these missiles from? Mars?
Nasrallah set them uo he didnt want to pay his followers so he gave them pagers and blamed Israel. Nasrallah himself didnt have a pager
😂,😂😂😂😂
Israel government has not commented omg!!!
Sky news seems salty
