The impact of the pager explosions on Hezbollah | DW News

Officials in Lebanon say at least 12 people were killed, including two children, when pagers used by Hezbollah across the country exploded. Iran's ambassador to Lebanon is among the nearly 28-hundred injured by the simultaneous blasts. Hezbollah militants began using the devices in hopes of avoiding Israeli surveillance of their mobile phones. The militant group blames Israel for the explosions and says the attack will not go unpunished. There's been no immediate comment from the Israeli military. For more on this, we talk to DW Bureau Chief Mohamad Chreyteh in Lebanon's capital Beirut. And we talk to Eugenio Lilli. He is a lecturer on Global Affairs and Emerging Technologies at the UCD Clinton Institute for American Studies in Dublin.
