Emirates Bans Pagers and Walkie-Talkies After Explosive Attacks

The airline's decision follows deadly explosions in Lebanon linked to Hezbollah devices, intensifying regional tensions.

  • Emirates has prohibited pagers and walkie-talkies on flights to, from, or via Dubai, citing security concerns.
  • The ban comes after thousands of explosive-laden devices linked to Hezbollah detonated in Lebanon, killing 37 and injuring nearly 3,000.
  • Israeli intelligence, suspected to be behind the attacks, has not officially claimed responsibility.
  • Emirates has suspended flights to Lebanon until October 15 due to escalating Israeli airstrikes near Beirut.
  • Flights to Iraq and Iran remain suspended amid fears of further regional conflict, while services to Jordan are set to resume.
