the council of ministers of the lebanese caretaker government subsequently issued a collective statement "condemning israel's acts of aggression" and stressed that israel's actions "seriously violated lebanon's sovereignty and constituted a crime."

earlier on the 17th, pager explosions occurred in beirut, the capital of lebanon, and in many places in southeastern and northeastern lebanon. lebanese minister of public health abyad said the explosions have killed 8 people and injured about 2,750 people. lebanese hezbollah issued a statement saying that on the same day, pagers used by some members of the organization exploded. hezbollah said that after verifying the existing information, it believed that israel should bear full responsibility for the incident.

iran's official media irna reported that iran's ambassador to lebanon was slightly injured in the explosion and is currently in good condition.

other media quoted anonymous hezbollah officials as saying that the explosion was the "biggest security loophole" the organization had encountered in its nearly one-year conflict with israel. so far, israeli officials have not commented on the incident. (cctv reporter ci xiaoning)
