Explosions in Lebanon involving two-way radios were found to be larger and heavier compared to previous incidents with pagers, leading to more extensive damage and fires. The New York Times analysis revealed that the devices used in the recent attacks were significantly heavier than the pagers and likely contained more explosives. The death toll from the two incidents combined reached 26, with hundreds injured and numerous properties damaged by fires. The communication devices identified in the attacks were IC-V82 two-way radios, associated with Hezbollah militants in the past. Concerns have been raised about Hezbollah's procurement and use of such devices, with previous reports linking the group to the Japanese brand Icom.
