Middle East
The most widely reported use of a 'booby-trapped' object in the Middle East is the Israeli operation against Hezbollah in 2024, in which at least one shipment of the target organisation's pager devices were remanufactured with explosive capability by Israeli security services. The devices were all detonated at once, on receipt of a pager message, causing severe harm and disruption to Hezbollah.
