Lebanon's Hezbollah movement said Tuesday that "a large number" of its members were wounded and at least three people killed when pagers carried by its members exploded simultaneously in locations across the Iran-backed group's Beirut and south Lebanon strongholds. Some Lebanese officials were quick to blame Israel, but Hezbollah said in its statement that it was still conducting a "wide-ranging security and scientific investigation to determine" the cause of the blasts.
