Nasrallah admitted that pager blasts on Tuesday and walkie-talkie explosions on Wednesday dealt “an unprecedented blow” to their forces, but they “did not bring us down, nor will they do.”

 

He added they have launched an internal probe into the communication device blasts. 

 

"We have reached an almost definitive conclusion regarding the circumstances of the explosions, but we are waiting for confirmation," he added. 

 

Hundreds of communication devices including pagers on Tuesday and walkie-talkies on Wednesday used by members of Hezbollah exploded across Lebanon.

 

The Lebanese Health Ministry on Thursday put the total number of deaths at 37 and the injured at over 3,500.

 

“What happened was a major terrorist act,” Nasrallah said. “We will define the events of Tuesday and Wednesday as massacres.”

 

The leader of the Iran-backed group said they have received “threats through official and unofficial channels of more strikes” if they “do not cease fire” against their arch-foe Israel. 

 

Nasrallah reiterated that their resistance against Israel will not stop regardless of the consequences.

 

"Our response, in the name of the martyrs and the wounded, is that Lebanon's front will not stop until the aggression on Gaza ends, regardless of the sacrifices, consequences, possibilities, or outlook,” Nasrallah detailed. 

 

Hezbollah has since day one accused Israel of orchestrating the explosions targeting pagers used by its members in Beirut and surrounding areas.

 

In an exclusive statement to The New Region, Hezbollah’s media office expressed certainty about Israel's involvement, saying “the response is inevitable, whether they expect it or not.”

The incident immediately raised questions about the security of pager devices, once considered revolutionary in the 1990s but still in use in areas with poor mobile coverage or by medical professionals.
