""Hezbollah hit by a wave of exploding pagers in Lebanon and Syria. At least 9 dead, hundreds injured""

""BEIRUT (AP) — Hundreds of handheld pagers exploded near simultaneously in parts of Lebanon and Syria on Tuesday, killing at least nine people — including members of the militant group Hezbollah and a young girl — and wounding several thousand, officials said. They pointed the finger at Israel in what appeared to be a sophisticated, remote attack.""

How they prepared and distributed signal self-destructing pagers to Hezbollah specifically would be an interesting story.
Hezbollah used pagers because they considered cellphones a security risk.

I read that this act injured fully 3% of Hezbollah members as well as the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon.
