Ambulances transferring wounded Hezbollah members heard across Beirut

Ambulances can be heard across the Lebanese capital Beirut as rescuers rushed to take wounded Hezbollah members to hospital after their pagers exploded, Middle East Eye's correspondent Nader Durgham reported.

Lebanon's Internal Security Forces meanwhile released a communique asking citizens across the country to get off the roads to allow the passage of ambulances.

Hundreds of members of Hezbollah, including fighters and medics, were seriously wounded when the pagers they use to communicate exploded, a security source told Reuters.
