02:44Locals in the Bekaa town of Saraain in eastern Lebanon mourned the death of Fatima Jaafar Abdullah on Wednesday, a 10-year-old victim of the mass pager explosions across the country the previous day.
Footage shows people carrying Fatima's coffin with the flag of the Imam al-Mahdi Scouts outside her parents' house, chanting slogans such as "At your service Hussein", ‘"At your service, Nasrallah" - in reference to the Hezbollah leader - and "In God’s hands, angel of God".
The video also features women carrying banners reading 'Happy Child Martyr Fatima Jaafar Abdullah', along with her photo. Mourners were also seen performing funeral prayers before burying the body.
“The child was martyred in this Zionist brutal attack which had also killed not only Hezbollah members but also civilians,” said a mourner.
At time of publication, the Lebanese Health Ministry reported at least 12 people had been killed and around 2,800 injured.
Hezbollah described it as a 'criminal aggression' by Israel, confirming that the devices belonged to "employees of various Hezbollah units and institutions", and said that it would get 'retribution'. Israel had not commented at time of publication.
Egypt, Russia, Iraq, Jordan, Iran and Yemen all condemned the attack. The US State Department said it had no involvement or advance knowledge of the explosions.
Cross-border clashes are ongoing between the Israeli army and Hezbollah, as well as other Lebanese and Palestinian factions, and have intensified since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
