The simultaneous detonation of thousands of pagers in Lebanon on Tuesday, killing at least nine people and injuring about 2,800, marks a troubling shift towards individualized attacks.
Hezbollah and Lebanon have blamed Israel for the attack. A US State Department spokesperson, however, stated Washington had no prior knowledge of any attack.
Mick Ryan, a former Australian major general, noted that if Israel was behind the incident, it would have profound implications on future warfare, showcasing vulnerabilities in modern conflict.
Ryan highlighted that the use of advanced personal weaponry, such as armed drones, reflects a significant escalation in personalized violence on battlefields worldwide.
