Several hours earlier, there had been massive pager explosions.
As reported by SHOT Telegram channel, Lebanon used manufactured Gold AP-900 devices to create its own internal system. The pagers, as noted, are programmed manually using a password.
According to experts, the explosions could have been caused by a message sent en masse through closed channels.
