Ninety-five individuals injured in the recent device explosions in Lebanon are being transferred to Iran for further medical treatment, as reported by Iran's state news agency IRNA. The head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, Pirhossein Koulivand, stated that most of the injured victims have suffered severe injuries to their hands and eyes. Upon their arrival in Iran, they will be promptly taken to designated hospitals for necessary treatment.

The Iranian Red Crescent Society swiftly mobilized a team following the tragic pager explosions in Lebanon on Tuesday. Subsequently, on Wednesday, additional walkie-talkie explosions in Lebanon resulted in the loss of at least 20 lives.

Footage shared on Iranian semi-official platforms depicted individuals being carefully transferred on stretchers and boarded onto a plane, with their heads and eyes securely wrapped in bandages.

Iran has pointed fingers at Israel, accusing them of perpetrating a 'terrorist act' and 'genocide' in the wake of the pager explosions, some of which were reportedly owned by Hezbollah members. While CNN has learned that Israel was allegedly responsible for the attacks, Israeli officials have refrained from making any public statements regarding either day's incidents.
