AP Faces Backlash for Humanizing Hezbollah Wounded in Pager Attack

LEBANON, AUG 7 – Israel's covert September 2024 operation injured more than 3,000 Hezbollah members with booby-trapped pagers, aiming to disrupt the group's communications and military capabilities.

  • On September 17, 2024, Israel remotely detonated thousands of pagers distributed to Hezbollah across Lebanon, causing simultaneous explosions in various locations.
  • The operation targeted Hezbollah's encrypted pager network used to evade detection, reflecting an ongoing Israeli campaign against the group amid persistent rocket attacks throughout 2024.
  • The explosions resulted in injuries to thousands and claimed the lives of a dozen individuals, among them two children, while hospitals were overwhelmed with trauma and relatives searching for their loved ones amid widespread distress.
  • Israel described the attack as a precise military strike showcasing technological prowess, while rights groups argued it was indiscriminate and may have violated international law.
  • Hezbollah confirms most casualties were its members and survivors remain on a slow recovery path, with the group warning that renewed Israeli assaults would provoke missile retaliation.
