At least 12 people have died and thousands have been injured after pagers exploded across Lebanon yesterday in a coordinated attack against Hezbollah.
The old technology is still used in Lebanon because it’s more durable, reliable, and was thought to be more secure from attack. However, the recent explosions have raised concerns about the security of pagers and the potential for further attacks.
The explosions occurred in several cities across Lebanon, including Beirut, Tripoli, and Sidon. The Lebanese Red Cross said that at least 12 people had been killed and more than 5,000 injured.
Many of the injured are in critical condition, and the death toll is expected to rise. Hospitals in the area are struggling to cope with the influx of patients.
The Lebanese government has declared a state of emergency and has launched an investigation into the explosions. Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shia Islamist militant group, has been blamed for the attack.
The explosions have raised concerns about the security of pagers and the potential for further attacks. Pagers are still widely used in Lebanon, despite the advent of more modern communication technologies.
Some experts believe that the explosions were a deliberate attempt to target Hezbollah. Hezbollah is a powerful political and military force in Lebanon, and it has been involved in a number of conflicts in the region.
The explosions have also raised concerns about the security of other old technologies. Pagers are just one example of a technology that is still widely used, despite the fact that it is no longer considered to be secure.
The Lebanese government is urging people to be vigilant and to report any suspicious activity. The government is also working to improve the security of pagers and other old technologies.
