An investigative report by Turkish media said that the pager sends messages on sophisticated systems, but hacking is possible.
The number of people killed in recent pager explosions in Lebanon has reached 12, according to Health Minister Firass Abiad. Among the deceased are two children, while nearly 2,800 others have been injured. Some of the injured are receiving treatment in Syria, and others are being sent to Iran.
These explosions happened at the same time across the country and are linked to devices used by the group Hezbollah. Initial reports suggest that Israel used advanced technology to target Hezbollah, leading to at least nine deaths and over 3,000 injuries.
Eyewitnesses reported that the pagers got very hot before they exploded. The blasts started at 3:45 PM and continued for about an hour, affecting areas in southern Lebanon and the suburbs of Beirut. Lebanese media claim that Israel hacked the pagers.
Hezbollah has blamed Israel for the explosions and stated they will continue their support for Gaza despite this incident. An investigation is underway to find out how the pagers were brought into Lebanon, with some analysts suggesting Israeli intelligence may have tampered with their supply chain.
Several Hezbollah fighters were also injured by explosions in pager devices used for communication.
