According to media reports, as to the nature of the explosions, a security source said that the exploded communication devices were portable radios and were different from pagers.
The source also added that Hezbollah purchased these portable radios 5 months ago, almost simultaneously with the purchase of pagers.
In turn, informed media sources reported that Israel allegedly blew up thousands of walkie-talkies (and radios) used by Hezbollah members in the second wave of its intelligence operation, according to Axios.
On the other hand, conflicting reports indicated that the explosions affected technical equipment not related to communications.
