Wave of Exploding Pagers in Lebanon and Syria Linked to Hezbollah's Security Devices

A series of deadly explosions involving pagers used by Hezbollah has resulted in at least 9 deaths and thousands of injuries across Lebanon and Syria. Reports suggest that Israel's intelligence operations were behind the explosive devices, with claims that explosives were planted in pagers sold to Hezbollah. The explosions are thought to have been triggered as part of a sophisticated cyberattack, leaving the militant group facing severe internal chaos. In the aftermath, Hezbollah has vowed retaliation against Israel, stating that these attacks have struck at the heart of their communication infrastructure, which they shifted to in an attempt to enhance security. As investigations continue, questions remain about the implications of turning digital communication devices into weapons in the ongoing conflict.
