Lebanon Bans Pagers on Flights After Explosions
News summary

Lebanon's Civil Aviation Authority has imposed a ban on pagers and walkie-talkies for all flights to and from Beirut's Rafic Hariri Airport, following a series of explosions involving these communication devices that have resulted in at least 32 deaths and thousands injured. The directive, effective immediately, requires airlines to inform passengers that such devices are prohibited in both carry-on and checked luggage, with security personnel authorized to confiscate any devices found. The explosions, which have been attributed to devices used by Hezbollah members, have generated widespread panic and fear among the populace, particularly during recent funerals for victims of the initial blasts. In response to the attacks, the Israeli Defense Forces have engaged in retaliatory fire targeting the sources of the missile strikes. The current situation has heightened tensions in the region, with Hezbollah vowing revenge for the attacks. The overall atmosphere in Lebanon remains one of anxiety and uncertainty amid ongoing violence and public mourning.
