What Just Happened? Pager Bombs in Lebanon

In this episode, Ignacio Ayala is joined by Sibylline Ltd’s Principal Analyst for the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey Noam Ostfeld, to discuss 3,000 pagers owned by Hezbollah operatives exploding simultaneously across Lebanon and Syria. It is believed that Hezbollah’s suspicion of the devices may have triggered the detonations. While this is plausible, a more recent second round of explosions—this time involving handheld radios (walkie-talkies)—seems more deliberate, particularly as it coincided with funeral processions for those killed in initial blasts.
