A member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps tells the New York Times that the pagers distributed by Hezbollah beeped for a number of seconds before they exploded yesterday.
The IRGC member says the devices beeped for around 10 seconds, so that the users would hold them close to their eyes and face to read the message.
The unidentified member says the pager belonging to the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon had beeped for a few seconds before he raised it. According to the outlet, the envoy has lost one eye and the blast severely injured his second.
