In a concerning development, recent pager explosions in Lebanon have heightened tensions between Hezbollah and Israel. According to a Lebanese security source, the exploded pagers were newly purchased by Hezbollah in recent months. The source, however, did not provide specific details regarding the purchase date or model of the pagers.

Jordan has pledged its support to Lebanon in the aftermath of the tragic incident. On Tuesday, Jordan's Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi, assured Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati of their readiness to provide any necessary medical assistance to treat the thousands of injured Lebanese citizens. The Jordanian Foreign Ministry emphasized their support for Lebanon's security, sovereignty, and stability in a statement.

Hamas, a Palestinian extremist group, expressed solidarity with Hezbollah and the Lebanese people following the explosions. In a statement, Hamas blamed Israel for the pager explosions, condemning what they described as "Zionist terrorist aggression" against the Lebanese citizens and facilities. The group also expressed their condolences to the victims' families and praised Hezbollah's support for the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Israel has remained silent on the incident, with the Israeli military declining to comment. The explosions come at a time of increased hostility between Hezbollah and Israel, further escalating tensions in the region after Hamas' attack on Israel in October 2023 and the subsequent Gaza war.

Lebanese journalist Kim Ghattas shed light on the situation, stating that Hezbollah had resorted to low-tech communication methods to protect their operatives from assassinations. Ghattas emphasized that the explosions appeared to be a targeted attack by Israel against Hezbollah operatives who had minimized their use of advanced technologies such as iPhones and the internet.

While Israel has been accused of orchestrating the attacks, the United States, through a State Department spokesperson, denied any involvement or prior knowledge of the incidents. The spokesperson highlighted that the US was gathering information and refrained from providing any assessment or confirming Israel's responsibility.

Hezbollah and Lebanon have both blamed Israel for the explosions, which resulted in approximately 2,800 injuries and claimed the lives of at least nine people, according to the Lebanese health minister. The Israel Defense Forces have not issued any statement regarding the incident.

As the situation unfolds, the US State Department spokesperson urged Iran not to retaliate or escalate tensions based on unconfirmed reports of the Iranian ambassador's alleged injury in the explosions. The US emphasized the need for stability and the avoidance of further turmoil in the region.

The repercussions of the deadly pager explosions in Lebanon continue to unfold, leaving many questions unanswered. Both Israel and Hezbollah are yet to provide official statements regarding the incident, further adding to the uncertainty surrounding the situation.
