Explosions caused by rigged pagers distributed by Hezbollah during funerals in Beirut have resulted in numerous casualties, including deaths and severe injuries. Many victims have lost eyes or suffered brain damage, and the extent of the damage is significant. Reports indicate that a shipment of pagers may have been remotely detonated. The motive behind the attacks is believed to be Hezbollah's concern about smartphones being used by Israeli military and intelligence agencies to target its members.
