Lebanon said 37 people have been killed and more than 3,500 others injured, after handheld devices used by Hezbollah members exploded across the country over the last two days. Wednesday’s explosions featured handheld radios made by Japanese firm Icom, which said it exported the IC-V82 model to the Middle East from 2004 to 2014. However, it stopped producing them 10 years ago. According to reports, Hezbollah purchased the devices around five months ago. Icom has denied making the Hezbollah-linked devices.
