Lebanon's health minister, Firass Abiad, said that at least eight people were killed and 2,750 others were injured in pager explosions across the country. After the explosions, Hezbollah issued a warning to its operatives and asked them to get rid of the pager if they did not explode yet. According to reports, hundreds of Hezbollah members were seriously wounded after the pagers they use for communication exploded. As the developments in the pager blast emerge, it's important to know what pagers are. Pagers are wireless telecommunications devices that are used globally to receive and display alphanumeric or voice messages. Also known as beepers, pagers were widely used in the 1980s and continue to remain in use especially in the medical field. In Lebanon, members of Hezbollah allegedly use pagers for internal communication. Meanwhile, Hezbollah has blamed Israel for the pager blasts and warned that Israel would be punished.
