The Mystery of Hezbollah’s Deadly Exploding Pagers

Wired  

An unprecedented wave of small blasts erupted across Lebanon on Tuesday, killing at least 11 people and injuring nearly 2,800 after the wireless pagers of Hezbollah members began exploding, according to local officials. Pagers started exploding at around 3:30 pm local time, according to a statement from Hezbollah officials, who say that “various Hezbollah units and institutions” were impacted in the incident. “Hezbollah’s competent agencies are currently conducting a wide-ranging security and scientific investigation to determine the causes that led to these simultaneous explosions,” Hezbollah said in an initial statement. In a second statement issued after the explosions, reported by Al Jazeera, Hezbollah blames Israel for the “criminal aggression that targeted civilians too.” The Israel Defense Forces told WIRED it has “no comment.” Reuters reported that an unnamed “Hezbollah official” described the operation as the "biggest security breach" the group has faced in nearly a year of fighting with Israel.
