the clouds of war in the middle east seem to be gathering again.

according to xinhua news agency, lebanese minister of public health firas abyad said at a press conference on the 17th that the explosions of paging devices (also known as "pagers") that occurred in many places in lebanon that afternoon had killed at least 9 people and injured about 2,800 people.

after the explosion, the lebanese caretaker government's council of ministers issued a collective statement "condemning israel's acts of aggression" and stressed that israel's actions "seriously violated lebanon's sovereignty and constituted a crime."

the pager explosion in lebanon was a large-scale attack on a specific target through the security loopholes of handheld electronic devices. how was this attack carried out? who planned the attack? what impact will it have on the situation in the middle east?

how did the massive explosion happen?

since the frequent clashes between hezbollah and israel on the lebanese-israeli border in october last year, hezbollah has begun to seek ways to hedge against israel's long-range attacks - using low-tech paging devices instead of mobile phones to avoid israel's tracking and positioning.

british explosives experts, through studying the explosion video, said that small explosives about the size of a pencil eraser should have been placed in the paging device, and these explosives may have been modified before being released. the battery of this type of paging device is detachable and uses a lithium battery, which may have been modified to place explosives.
