Opposition war monitor claims 14 wounded in Syria in Hezbollah pager blasts
Fourteen people were wounded in Syria when pagers used by Hezbollah exploded, a Britain-based opposition-aligned war monitor claims, adding to a toll of at least eight dead and 2,750 wounded in Lebanon, plus a reported death toll of seven in Syria.
“Fourteen people whose nationalities are unknown have been wounded in Damascus and its countryside after pagers used by Hezbollah exploded,” says the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has a problematic history of misreporting.
A source close to Hezbollah tells AFP that some of its members have been wounded in pager blasts in Syria, without specifying how many.
