Army detonates device in south Lebanon village after wave of deadly blasts | AFP

Lebanese army forces destroy in a controlled explosion a communication device found on the ground in the Klayaa village in southern Lebanon. Hundreds of pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah exploded across Lebanon in unprecedented attacks that spanned two days, killing 32 people and wounding more than 3,000 others.

So did they add more explosives or set off some inside? I don't understand _how_ the device was blown up.

It looks impressive but was the blast the actual device(which looked like just the battery) or the explosive they put on it to detonate it?

microwave oven, air fryer, led tv, hair blower, air conditioner, electric fan, laptops, light bulbs etc. etc. will be blowing up next in Lebanon.

If this was in the UK after a string of explosions, i guarantee that would have been disarmed and investigated. Seems like a missed opportunity to find out exactly these devices were made.

Look how close they get with zero protection on. FML.
