Hundreds of members of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, including fighters and medics, were seriously wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they use to communicate exploded, a security source told Reuters.

A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the "biggest security breach" the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military to Reuters enquiries about the detonations.

This is some incredible work by Mossad or some other Israeli Intelligence Organization.

Probably good that we didn’t allow Chinese telecommunications company Huawei to take over our market.

This shows that the Israeli’s have been able to track phone numbers and communications for a while. This is a huge blow to them at this critical juncture. It literally makes them halt any current telcom com’s and resort to human interaction and courriers.

MORE: The Iranian ambassador to Lebanon and two of his bodyguards are reportedly injured in the pager incident.

They were using the same pagers recently distributed to Hezbollah’s members to replace the older versions they had.
