Iran accuses Israel of 'mass murder' after deadly pager explosions in Lebanon
Iran has accused Israel of "mass murder", after thousands of pagers exploded across parts of Lebanon and Syria, killing 12 people and wounding nearly 3,000. Lebanon's health minister said the victims include fighters of Iran-backed Hezbollah, four health workers and two children. The pagers involved were originally thought to be linked to Taiwanese electronics company Gold Apollo, who has denied making the devices.
