Israel hid explosives inside batch of pagers that Hezbollah recently ordered

Over 3,000 pagers were included in the recent order, with the US newspaper reporting some of the devices were given to Hezbollah’s allies in Syria and Iran, while adding that the attack only affected those that were turned on and receiving messages.

It’s unclear when exactly Hezbollah placed the order and received the pagers, but the report notes leader Hassan Nasrallah’s remarks earlier this year instructing members of the Iran-backed group to ditch their cellphones due to concerns of Israeli eavesdropping.
