Original Note:
This needs to be phrased better, right now it sounds like Hezbollah was involved in pager explosions. The news item is also missing important context that Israel detonated those pagers. This has been reported by multiple news outlets Inc. times of Israel and Nyt. www.timesofisrael.com/use-it-or-lose-it-israel-reportedly-set-off-pagers-amid-fears-plot-was-exposed/amp/ https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/17/world/middleeast/israel-hezbollah-pagers-explosives.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/18/world/middleeast/israel-hezbollah-pager-attack.html https://theintercept.com/2024/09/19/israel-pager-walkie-talkie-attack-lebanon-war-crimes/
