Description

A medical team from the Iranian Red Crescent Society arrived in Lebanon on Wednesday to provide assistance to those injured in the mass pagers explosions the previous day.

Footage shows head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, Pir-Hossein Kolivand, visiting one of the survivors, while the team were also seen talking to an injured person who lost his hand in the explosion. Kolivand can be seen meeting with hospital doctors.

Iran's envoy to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was among those wounded.

“We paid a visit to Al Rassoul Al-Aazam Hospital [Beirut]. We paid a visit to Dr. Amani, the honourable Ambassador. Thank God his general condition is good, he is in stable condition. We are trying to dispatch a considerable number of the injured who need more serious treatment to Tehran by the same air plane we came with," Kolivand explained.

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.
