Hezbollah Walkie-Talkies Explode in Second Day of Surprise Attacks
By Washington Examiner. Hezbollah walkie-talkies exploded across Lebanon on Wednesday in a second round of electronic communications device explosions just one day after 12 people were killed and thousands were injured in similar explosions Tuesday.
Lebanese media reported several explosions in Beirut and Dahiyeh, a Hezbollah-dominated suburb of the capital. Pictures and videos posted on social media showed large fires resulting from the explosions, which were apparently hidden in devices other than the pagers used in Tuesday’s attack.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said that nine were killed and over 300 wounded in Wednesday’s explosions. Both numbers are expected to grow.

19 Iranian Revolutionary Guardsmen Die in Syria From Exploding Pagers: Report
By Daily Caller. Exploding pagers killed nineteen Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members in Syria, The Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday, citing Al-Hadath, a Saudi news outlet.
Another 150 guardsmen were injured in the detonations, the outlet reported, citing Army Radio.
Thousands of people were wounded in pager explosions Tuesday in Lebanon and Syria, Lebanon’s public health minister stated, CBS News reported. 12 people — including Hezbollah members and a pair of children — were reportedly killed in the attack attributed to Israel, according to the minister. The alleged attack that used their own pagers was the “biggest security breach” since the terrorist organization started to fire projectiles into Israel in 2023, a high-ranking Hezbollah commander admitted to Reuters.
