Lebanon health minister visits hospital where doctor describes pager blast injuries

Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad visits Hotel-Dieu hospital in Beirut after hundreds of paging devices used by militant group Hezbollah's members exploded in a deadly wave across Lebanon.

The influx of so many casualties all at once overwhelmed hospitals in Hezbollah strongholds.

The group vows to punish Israel, while Israel has made no immediate comment on the incident.
