According to Lebanon’s National News Agency, which quoted the aviation agency, passengers have been told that they may not carry such devices in their carry-ons, and they will be confiscated immediately if found.

At least 20 people were killed and 450 injured after hundreds of walkie-talkies, some reportedly used by Hezbollah, exploded across Lebanon on Wednesday.

Just a day earlier, thousands of pagers used by members of the armed group exploded in the country.

Israel has not commented on the blasts, but on Wednesday, Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant announced “a new phase in the war”.

  2. Ingenious piece of warfare

  3. BBC must be upset about what happened to the terrorists.😂😂

  4. 🛤️ 'Heritage – Chinab' _ •🚂 🚃• _ "Railway – Bridge" 🌁

  5. Asking for a friend, are Tamagotchis still allowed?

  6. I thought this was gonna bring Notrealies back North?

  7. Israel America UK or behind this

  8. So can you imagine this and no one is thinking about this or talking on the news this can happen to anyone any country who is behind this because they have breached every single thing they are passive terrorists they can do it to us so phones have to be now Anne walkie talkies which lots of doctors use in England have to be checked because this is gone crazy now Israel is absolutely a war criminal and America

  9. Anyone took sick leave from the office, BBC? I bet there are some, go fetch them😂

  10. I like the way how the the news announce that Hezbollah men have been targeted I'm not even looked at it in a way that this is a terrorist attack Israel has caused a massive terrorist attack on normal civil which day have been doing in Gaza Palestine I want to see wot the UK prime minister has to say about this now an America now if Israel gets away from this that means no one should follow any law because lord doesn't count does anyone can do anything that means please whoever is reading this help and try and let the world know what Israel doing America only lies they want to calm the war down want to stop the war but England and America are supplying billions and billions of pounds of weapons killing kids normal civilian if they want to stop the war stop arming them but obviously this is all lie so please let's get together and stop this whoever's got big platforms broadcast it and let the world know what's going on thank you

  11. Would an embattled leader do anything to keep himself in power, protected from the crimes he has committed?

  12. so do not use phones to communicate you need something like this⚔carry this around and figure things out

  13. BBC is such a nasty woke company, I don't give them any credibility in this narrative. Clearly the announcers are in favour of Hez-ball-less terrorists and against humanity and democracy and freedom. As is their current government.

  14. Imagin saying Isis fighters were off duty, therefore attacking them is a war crime 😶! This is how pathetic these people are…

  15. No wander people stop watching bbc news , so much misinformation

  16. Z employees cannot be trusted in any organization!

  17. BBC Staff not happy to lose their pagers?

  18. Stone age mode activated

  19. 🇮🇱 is the Terrorist & BS Rules Based International Order is there to cover for 🇮🇱 Terrorists!

  20. Israel is a terrorist state

  21. Electronic devices of all kinds are soon to be banned. No device can be fully trusted again, by anyone.

  22. Confused lawayer

  23. Nonchalant attitude about war crimes in majority of comments is deeply troubling on so many levels. War crime isn't defined by who you target with it and their morality. If anything it makes you more like them… + how'll you be outraged tomorrow when they do larger monstrosity?! Im sympathetic to deep complexity of any action in this conflict but I see no good sides here. Only evil.

  24. Free David McBride! Give Scott Ritter and Sarah Wilkinson their passports back! Imprison Biden, Zelensky, Victoria Nouland, Netanyahu!

  25. Is the BBC officially in mourning now? 🤣

  26. isreal is the terror org.
