Mobile communication devices that kill: new weapon or tool for terrorism?

An extraordinary situation occurred in Lebanon that shocked the world. Hundreds of Hezbollah members’ pagers exploded simultaneously, resulting in at least 9 deaths and over 2750 injuries. Let’s delve into the details of this story.

Why Did They Explode?

It turns out that pagers are old communication devices still used by Hezbollah militants in Lebanon. They receive text messages but cannot make calls. Hezbollah considers them safer than mobile phones because pagers cannot be traced.

And now for the most interesting part: the pagers recently delivered to Lebanon were likely rigged with explosives. Upon receiving the message, they detonated, causing immense damage. Some even speculated that it could have been an Israeli operation.

Horrendous Consequences for Lebanon

Most explosions occurred in southern Beirut – an area with a high concentration of Hezbollah members. Among the casualties were members of the elite Radwan unit and even the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon.

People suffered severe injuries: amputated limbs, eye wounds, numerous burns. Ophthalmologists report that many patients have lost their sight due to the explosions.

Is There a Threat of a New War?

The situation in Lebanon is deteriorating. If it is discovered that Israel is behind the explosions, the consequences could be unpredictable. Hezbollah is already threatening “fair punishment.” The Israeli army is also preparing for possible attacks from Lebanon. People in both countries are beginning to fear a large-scale war, which is not surprising given that the situation remains very tense.

What Will Happen Next

Friends, it is not yet clear what will come of these events, but one thing is certain: peace in the region is at risk. Airlines are already canceling flights to Tel Aviv and Beirut. Hezbollah is preparing for action, and the Israeli army is preparing for defense. Whether this will be the beginning of a new war, we will find out very soon.
