00:00Dozens of residents and first responders gathered by a smartphone store that caught fire after
00:07the recent explosion on a busy street in Saddam.
00:11Several ambulances were also called to transport the wounded.
00:15Multiple explosions went off at the site of a funeral for three Hezbollah members, as
00:21well as a child who was killed by exploding pagers the day before.
00:25According to local media, various electronic devices exploded across Lebanon, including
00:32walkie-talkies used by the Hezbollah.
00:35Authorities have yet to disclose the number of casualties.
00:38The Lebanon Health Ministry said that a series of explosions killed at least nine and wounded
00:44over 300.
00:46Lebanon remains in a state of confusion and anger following the pager bombings on Tuesday.
00:52At least 12 were killed, including two children.
00:55Meanwhile, some 2,800 were wounded when pagers used by Hezbollah members began exploding
01:01in several parts of Lebanon and Syria.
01:04Additionally, hospitals in the Lebanese city of Saidan continue to accept those who were
01:09injured in the simultaneous explosion of hundreds of pagers used by Hezbollah.
01:15There is a lot of pressure on the medical staff due to the large number of hospital explosions
01:27on Lebanese soil.
01:29In the explosion of the Martyr Mahmoud Al-Hamshari Hospital, we dealt with more than 80 injuries,
01:39most of them dangerous.
01:41It was a tragic day for the whole country.
01:46Most of the government institutions were closed, especially the Masjid.
01:51This is the weakest link between people who were martyred and those who were injured.
01:56May God heal them.
01:58This has affected Lebanon in general.
02:01Saida is a part of Lebanon, so it will be affected because it is the closest to the south
02:06of anything that happens.
