Pagers exploded at the same time: Hezbollah
Hezbollah has blamed Israel for the attack and claimed that this is the “biggest security breach” so far.

According to security sources, the pagers which exploded were of the latest model.

Hezbollah’s strongholds in Lebanon have been affected by this attack. According to AFP, Hezbollah has its own telecommunications system and after the Gaza war began it had asked its members to avoid using mobile phones.
