At around 3:30 in the afternoon on Tuesday, the pagers across Lebanon began beeping, delivering a message from Hezbollah leadership to their operatives through a chorus of chimes, melodies, and buzzes.

Hezbollah utilizes pagers to bypass Israeli surveillance, as they pose lower interception risks. Recent explosions in Lebanon, likely caused by sabotaged devices, resulted in casualties and heightened tensions,

Hassan Nasrallah says the exploding device attacks are "a declaration of war" which paid "no heed to innocent people".
