One day after hundreds of pagers widely used by Hezbollah simultaneously exploded in Lebanon, two-way radios used by the group detonated on Wednesday in what appeared to be a second wave of sophisticated, deadly attacks. The unprecedented series of explosions killed dozens of people, wounded more than 3,000, and deepened concerns about the scope of potentially-compromised personal electronic devices in use across the country.
The deadly blasts, which were concentrated in Hezbollah strongholds including southern Beirut suburbs, came as Israeli leaders again warned of expanding operations against Hamas allies Hezbollah across the border in Lebanon. Israel began moving troops to the border as a precautionary measure on Wednesday, AP reported, citing an Israeli official.
