Hezbollah has issued a second statement this evening blaming Israel directly for the pager attack which has killed 8 including a young girl and injured 2,750, mostly Hezbollah members. The first statement issued by Hezbollah did not directly assign blame to Israel for the attack.

Lebanese Health Minister: At least 11 people have been killed in the explosion of pagers, 4,000 people injured, 400 of them listed in serious condition.
