Hundreds of pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah exploded across Lebanon in unprecedented attacks this week, killing 32 people and wounding more than 3,000 others.

The blasts spanning two days have dealt a significant blow to the Iran-backed militant group, which blamed its arch-foe Israel for the attacks and vowed revenge.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is set to address the nation later Thursday, with many expected to watch his speech closely for any clues about the group's response.

On Tuesday hundreds of pagers carried by Hezbollah operatives exploded at almost the same time in the group's strongholds in south Beirut, eastern Lebanon and the country's south.
