BEIRUT (AP) — A Hezbollah official tells The Associated Press that “several hundred” people, including members of the group, were wounded in different parts of Lebanon when their handheld pagers exploded.
He said a few Hezbollah fighters were also wounded in Syria when the pagers they were carrying exploded.
Dozens of people, including Iran’s ambassador, were wounded in Beirut’s suburbs and other parts of Lebanon after their handheld pagers exploded Tuesday, according to media reports and security officials. It wasn’t immediately clear if people were killed.

Incredible story if true. While obviously deadly in and of themselves it also is a great psy-op suggesting massive infiltration and collaboration. They won’t know who to trust.
This is pretty cool.
Did any one of them call the number back?
God bless the Mossad.
Literally incredible.
Laugh of the day.
*69 BOOM!
Very next level “Fight Club” stuff that is. Of course now just watch what happens with TSA Screening in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas travel seasons.
One of Tom Clancy’s novels takes out a Moslem terrorist leader with an exploding satellite phone.
Time to buy stock in these guys...

True and incredible would seem to be mutually exclusive words. It does seem incredible, impossible, unfathomable. Ridiculously hard to pull off. Gotta put C4 in hundreds of pagers and get them into the right hands.
I heard they had cell phone bombs but those were few and far between. This would suggest deep infiltration and insider collaboration.
You have a point, if TSA can screw this up, they will.
Beeeep . . . beeeep . . . BOOM!
Especially considering the area of the body where most people carry a pager...
Hezbollah has a bone to pick with Amazon.
That end-user tech refresh program went off without a hitch and everybody got a free Easter-Egg courtesy of the supply chain. Mossad all the way.
Pagers are almost always kept in a pants pocket or on a belt at waist level. Methinks that none of these people, even if they survive, will be having any more children…which is “a shame” (in the Jerry Seinfeld sense of that phrase).
From another article: “Earlier this year, Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah urged members of his organisation to revert to using the pagers for vital communications, reasoning that modern smartphones would be more susceptible to cyber attacks by Israeli forces.
Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) said ‘tens of injured have been taken to hospital after the handheld pagers system was detonated using advanced technology’ and relayed urgent calls from hospitals in the country’s south for people to donate blood.
Hope that Mossad or Yamam used “10072023” as the caller ID.
