CNN shares details of ‘sophisticated’ pager attacks against Hezbollah

Explosives used to target the militant group’s officials were concealed in batteries in the devices, the network has reported

The alleged Israeli plot to target senior members of Hezbollah by simultaneously blowing up their pagers relied on explosives hidden in the devices that was nearly impossible to detect, CNN reported Friday, citing sources.

Earlier this month, a series of powerful pager explosions swept through the Middle East, killing 12 people and injuring around 3,000.
