Authored by abcnews.go.com

"This treacherous and criminal enemy will certainly receive his just punishment for this sinful aggression, whether he expects it or not.".

The dead and injured included people who are not members of Hezbollah, such as a 10-year-old girl killed in the eastern village of Saraain, according to Hezbollah-owned Al-Ahed News.

Hezbollah said eight of its members were killed Tuesday, though, as is typical in its statements, did not specify how they died.

About 200 of the injuries are critical, meaning they needed surgery, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.

The Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was among those who had one of the pagers and was injured due to an explosion Tuesday, according to Iranian state TV.

At least 14 people were also injured in targeted attacks on Hezbollah members in Syria, according to the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Schools across Lebanon will be closed on Wednesday, Lebanese state media reported, citing the country's Minister of Education. »

WMO says scientists still have some gaps in understanding these variables and will continue to monitor the ozone layer closely to explain any unexpected changes. »

A Hezbollah official told The Associated Press the pagers that were a new brand but declined to say how long they had been in use.

It appeared that many of those hit were members of Hezbollah, but it was not immediately clear if others also carried the pagers.

The pager bombings also likely stoke Hezbollah's worries about vulnerabilities in security and communications, as Israeli officials are threatening to escalate their monthslong conflict. »

### Helldivers 2 devs took fan outcry to heart and made the new Napalm Barrage an absolute monstrosity

Authored by pcgamer.com

Last month's Escalation of Freedom update was a positive step with lots of buffs, but it also introduced more unpopular nerfs.

The word "indulgent" came to mind as I watched the Napalm Barrage work its magic on a Terminid bug breach.

The Napalm Barrage feels immediately more powerful than its non-fire cousin—the 380mm Barrage—and a lot of that comes down to the fire that's left behind. »
