On Thursday, Lebanese authorities implemented a ban on walkie-talkies and pagers for flights departing from Beirut airport, as reported by the National News Agency. This decision follows a tragic incident in which numerous such devices detonated during a recent attack on Hezbollah.

The Lebanese Civil Aviation Directorate has instructed airlines to inform passengers of the prohibition on these devices until further notice. Additionally, the shipment of walkie-talkies and pagers by air has also been restricted, according to the state news agency.

The attacks, which occurred on Tuesday and Wednesday, resulted in at least 37 fatalities and over 3,000 injuries due to the explosions of devices utilized by Hezbollah members.

Lebanon and Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group, have accused Israel of orchestrating the attacks, although Israel has not acknowledged any involvement.

On Thursday, the Lebanese army announced it was conducting controlled detonations of pagers and other suspicious telecommunications equipment in various locations, urging citizens to report any unusual devices.

Tensions have been escalating along the Lebanese-Israeli border, with ongoing exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and Israel, a situation exacerbated by the recent conflict in Gaza.
