BEIRUT (Sputnik) - Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based Shiite movement, said on Wednesday that it would respond to Israel for the mass detonation of pagers that left thousands of Lebanese maimed and injured.
"The Islamic resistance in Lebanon will continue its operations in support of Gaza as before — this is not a continuous process, but separate from the harsh response that the enemy must expect in response to the massacre it inflicted on the Lebanese people on Tuesday. Paying the bill is inevitable," the movement said in a statement.
More than 4,000 people were injured and at least 11, including a child, died on Tuesday as a result of the mass detonation of pagers in different parts of Lebanon, according to the country's health minister, Firass Abiad. The Lebanese government and the Hezbollah movement blamed the explosions on Israel. The media reported that pagers were used by Hezbollah as a closed communication system least susceptible to hacking and eavesdropping.
Israel has not yet commented on the pager explosions.
