It has been reported as "radios", but that is inaccurate. They're actually walkie talkies, which are a form of radio communication, but not known as radios.

Apparently Israel to the US yesterday that something would happen (regarding the pagers), but wasn't specific. The US was just made aware that Israel was going to attack Hezbollah in some way.

The walkie talkies were intercepted at around the same time as the pagers, believed to have been in April 2024.



Hezbollah fired some rockets, but seemed to aim them at unoccupied areas. It seems they're trying to give the impression of a response, while avoiding an all-out war, which they fear they will lose. If that holds true, this will be a win for Israel.

For as long as I’ve been alive what you know as “walkie talkies” have been called radios on construction sites where nearly every tradesman has one

You serve in WWII?

Well yes, in a place where walkie talkies are used, they are called "radios", but to the general public they are not known that way.

When you say, "radios were blown up", most of the public pictures AM/FM radios just spontaneously exploding. Which sounds a lot worse, because then it looks like harmless media devices are being blown up, rather than communication devices used for the purpose of talking with other terrorists without Israel being able to monitor it.
