Lebanese state media is reporting the pagers used for encrypted communication between operatives were compromised and simultaneously exploded.
It has been reported as a mass casualty event.
Initial reports indicate Israeli intelligence is responsible for the act, using advanced technology to detonate the devices remotely. It is unclear if the units had additional hardware installed or if the hack could leverage existing components for the explosion.
