How thousands of pagers were rigged to explode in deadly attack on Hezbollah

Israel is alleged to have hidden tiny explosives inside a batch of Taiwanese-branded pagers imported to Lebanon

A second attack involving exploding electronic devices occurred in Lebanon on Wednesday. Lebanon’s health ministry says one person was killed and over 100 were wounded, the Associated Press is reporting. The blasts follow an attack on Tuesday when multiple pagers used by Hezbollah killed at least 12 people and wounded around 2,700.

A company based in Hungary was responsible for manufacturing the pagers that exploded on Tuesday, says AP. The attack marked an escalation in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that has often been on the verge of all-out war.
