The pager attacks took place on September 17, 2024, when thousands of communication devices used primarily by Hezbollah members for civilian purposes exploded simultaneously across Lebanon, including in Beirut’s southern suburbs, the Bekaa and the south.
The blasts killed at least 12 people and injured more than 3,000 including children, women and medical workers. The following day, a second wave involving booby-trapped handheld radios killed at least 25 people and injured more than 600.
