#Israel Allegedly Targeted a Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Headquarters in #Baghdad Using "Pager-Style" Remote-Detonation Devices

Security sources have suggested that the Popular Mobilization Forces’ security headquarters in eastern Baghdad may have been targeted by remote-detonation devices—similar to the pager explosions in Lebanon. Reports indicate that military equipment from Iran had arrived at the site a week before the blast, and there is a possibility that Iranian nationals were among those injured.

Field reports suggest that more than twenty personnel were wounded—contradicting the official account, which claimed that five members were injured due to the explosion of a stockpile of defective ammunition. Other sources have speculated that the site might have been struck by a drone or a projectile, though none of these theories have been confirmed.

The sources noted that the intelligence-focused nature of the facility raises questions regarding the presence of ammunition stores on-site. Meanwhile, Prime Minister [Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani] has ordered the formation of a committee to investigate the causes and circumstances of the explosion.
