Explosions in Lebanon Target Radios and Pagers

A series of explosions in Lebanon, targeting devices used by Hezbollah, has resulted in significant casualties and heightened tensions in the region. The explosions, which began with pagers and continued with walkie-talkies, have killed at least 32 people and injured thousands. Hezbollah and Lebanese officials have blamed Israel for the attacks, though Israel has not commented. The devices involved, including Icom IC-V82 walkie-talkies and pagers linked to Gold Apollo, were reportedly discontinued years ago, raising suspicions of counterfeit or modified products. Icom and Gold Apollo have both denied involvement and are investigating the incidents. The attacks have caused widespread panic and disrupted communication in Lebanon, with fears of escalating conflict in the Middle East.
