AP Faces Backlash for Humanizing Hezbollah Wounded in Pager Attack
LEBANON, AUG 7 – The Associated Press published a detailed profile on Hezbollah members injured in Israel's September 2024 pager attack that wounded over 3,000 and killed 12, sparking widespread criticism.
- On September 17, 2024, thousands of pagers distributed to Hezbollah were remotely detonated by Israel, wounding over 3,000 people and killing 12, including two children.
- Israel boasts of the pager attack as a show of its technological and intelligence prowess, but human rights groups argue it may have violated international law by being indiscriminate.
- The wounded Hezbollah members, with missing eyes, scarred faces, and missing fingers, blame Israel for their injuries but maintain support for Hezbollah despite the security breach.
