With thousands of pagers and walkie talkies exploding in the pockets, hands, faces, and vehicles of thousands of Hezbollah members, Hezbollah is now issuing safety instructions on its media channels to prevent further injury.

According to the warning, reported by Doron Kadosh of Army Radio, "all cellular and electronic devices recently imported should be checked to ensure they are not booby-trapped. The batteries of every wireless technological device should be temporarily unplugged."

Preliminary reports of casualties from the mass explosion of walkie talkies in Lebanon put the number so far at three dead and dozens wounded at least, according to al-Arabiya News.

Explosions have been reported in cars, motorcycles, and even at funerals, and the intensity of the blasts is reported to be greater than that of the exploding pagers yesterday.

Security sources speaking to Reuters said that the walkie talkies which exploded today were acquired around the same time as the pagers, all part of an effort to reduce reliance on cellphones, whose location finding technology was enabling the IDF to find and locate terrorists at will.

According to Axios, both the pagers and the walkie talkies were meant to be part of an emergency system for the terrorist group in the event of a wider war with Israel.
