Lebanon has banned all pagers and walkie-talkies from all flights at Beirut airport.
According to Lebanon’s National News Agency, which quoted the aviation agency, passengers have been told that they may not carry such devices in their carry-ons, and they will be confiscated immediately if found.
At least 20 people were killed and 450 injured after hundreds of walkie-talkies, some reportedly used by Hezbollah, exploded across Lebanon on Wednesday.
Just a day earlier, thousands of pagers used by members of the armed group exploded in the country.
Israel has not commented on the blasts, but on Wednesday, Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant announced "a new phase in the war".
