Explosions apparently targeting walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah have killed at least nine people and wounded at least 300 in cities across Lebanon, a day after more than 2,800 were injured and 12 killed by exploding pagers in an attack blamed on Israel.

A source in Hezbollah confirmed that walkie-talkies used by the group were targeted in the attack. A senior security source said the individual explosions were “small in size”, similar to Tuesday’s attacks.

Several solar power systems exploded in people’s homes across Lebanon, according to the National News Agency, injuring at least one girl in the town of al-Zahrani, south Lebanon. Pictures of exploded solar panels, fingerprint readers and other devices circulated social media, though it was unclear whether they blew up by themselves or were near walkie-talkies that exploded.

    Why would Hezbollah give the pagers they bought for military communication to civilians?

        Do you think Hezbollah distributed these to send out the results of the monthly charity raffle?

        The news today is full of articles describing how Hezbollah leadership told their people to ditch their cellphones because they could be tracked and eavesdropped. One must really turn their brain off to believe it’s a complete coincidence 3k Hezbollah members were all carrying the same model of pager and it has nothing at all to do with Hezbollah whatsoever lol
