Following two days of deadly pager and walkie-talkie blasts in Lebanon, there is a sense of fear and unease among the population regarding everyday communication devices. Rumors circulating suggest that people are being advised to shut off their wi-fi routers or remove batteries from certain devices due to concerns of further attacks.
Hezbollah, a prominent military group in Lebanon, has traditionally emphasized secrecy in its operations to avoid detection by Israeli and US surveillance. Earlier this year, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah urged members in southern Lebanon to discard their cellphones amid fears of being tracked by Israel.
