Hamas has expressed solidarity with Hezbollah and the Lebanese people following pager explosions in Lebanon that left thousands injured and at least nine people dead.
The armed group blamed Israel for the blasts and said in a statement: “We, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), strongly condemn the Zionist terrorist aggression that targeted Lebanese citizens by detonating communication devices in several areas of Lebanese territories, as well as civilian and service facilities.”
“We value the jihad and sacrifices of our brothers in Hezbollah, and their determination to continue supporting and standing by our Palestinian people in Gaza. We express our full solidarity with the Lebanese people and our brothers in Hezbollah, offering our sincere condolences to the families of the victims,” Hamas added.
The Israeli military previously said it would not comment on the incident.
The pager explosions come amid heightened hostility between Hezbollah and Israel, adding to tensions in the region that have been heightened since Hamas’s October 2023 attack on Israel and Israel’s subsequent war on Gaza.
