Middle East Eye spoke to veteran war correspondent and political analyst Elijah Magnier about Lebanon’s deadly pager blasts, how “Israel turned the pagers into IEDs” similar to “suicide belts” used by terrorist groups like ISIS in the Middle East, how this would affect Hezbollah’s communications going forward, and how Israel avoids accountability for such actions.
At least 12 people were killed and nearly 3,000 wounded in Lebanon on Tuesday after pagers used by Hezbollah exploded in an extraordinary attack, which both the movement and the Lebanese government blamed on Israel.
