  • No revolutionary guards of Iran killed in Lebanon blast: IRGC

Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) rejected media allegations on Wednesday that its members were among those murdered in a spate of pager blasts in Lebanon this week.

"Contrary to rumors circulating in some media and on the internet, not a single IRGC member was killed in the recent terrorist pager attack in Lebanon," IRGC spokesperson Ali-Mohammad Naeini told Tasnim.

According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, the latest death toll of the terrorist attack has risen to 12 martyrs, while the total number of injured is estimated to be between 2,700 and 2,800, with 1,850 in Beirut and its southern suburbs, 750 in the south, and 150 in the Bekaa region.

Security sources informed Al Mayadeen earlier in the day that the pagers bypass all scanning equipment available, even in countries and airports around the world, as the explosive material is undetectable.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday said that Western countries should feel "shame" for supporting the crimes of the Israeli regime.

14 killed, 450+ injured in second Israeli terror attack on Lebanon

Fourteen citizens have been killed and over 450 others were injured in "Israel's" second terror attack on Lebanon, this time targeting two-way radios, commonly known as walkie-talkies, Al Mayadeen's correspondent announced. 

On Wednesday afternoon, a series of explosions were reported across Beirut, South Lebanon, and Bekaa. Cars, motorbikes, stores, and homes across the country caught fire amid the impact of the blasts, resulting in an influx of casualties.

Injuries, most of which were mild, were transported to hospitals in Bekaa, whereas hospitals in Nabatieh and the Lebanese South received tens of others. 

In turn, the Lebanese Army urged citizens to refrain from crowding public spaces due to the security operation and to pave the way for ambulances and facilitate their path to the casualties. 

The Lebanese Civil Defense also announced that its crews were working on extinguishing the fires resulting from the explosions, as well as transporting injured individuals to hospitals. 

Meanwhile, Interim Prime Minister Najib Mikati called for the convention of a UN Security Council session regarding the Israeli attacks on Lebanon, adding that a complaint has already been filed. 

"No human can express the brutality of this crime," Mikati said. 

Reuters then reported that the Security Council scheduled a meeting on Friday. 

The Israeli terror attacks on Tuesday and Wednesday came as the occupation forces bombed the Lebanese South, particularly al-Jbeen, Shama, Majdal Zoun, Kfar Kila, Kfar Shouba, Houla, and Taybeh.
