pager and walkie-talkie explosions occurred in lebanon on september 17 and 18, killing many people and injuring thousands. the cause of the explosion of wireless communication equipment has been widely discussed by all parties. on the 18th, british electronic equipment safety experts said that explosive detonators can "theoretically" be installed in pagers and walkie-talkies.

since the outbreak of a new round of israeli-palestinian conflict on october 7 last year, hezbollah leader nasrallah has warned that israeli intelligence agencies have hacked into hezbollah's mobile phone network. to avoid being tracked, hezbollah members generally abandon smartphones and use pagers and walkie-talkies with lower technology content and more difficult to track. there are different opinions on how the pagers and walkie-talkies were detonated. one theory is that the explosive parts were implanted into the device during the manufacturing or supply process; there are also claims that the operator caused the device battery to overheat and explode through a cyber attack.

basel haurak, associate professor of security electronics at the university of southampton in the uk, said that small explosive detonators are about a few centimeters in size and can theoretically be placed in wireless communication devices such as pagers.
