Across Lebanon on Tuesday afternoon life was humming along.

It's a normal late summer sunny beautiful day in Lebanon. People were just on the street

walking down the street. That's our colleague Michael Aeman. People were sitting in

their cars at traffic lights.

Anything you can think of in normal everyday life,

someone would be looking at a piece of fruit in a grocery store.

Then, around 330, thousands of electronic pagers started to ping.

There is a beep beep beep and then boom.

And boom. And things just started blowing up.

One by one, all at the same time, boom, just explosions in Beirut, in southern Lebanon, in the

Bekha Valley.

Thousands of pagers exploded all over the country, all at the same time.

Blast after blast after blast, as part of an apparent attack. And it turns out that these were all Hezbollah pagers that were being carried by Hezbollah members

or people close to them, including families and some children who were caught in these explosions.

And it didn't end on Tuesday.

It didn't.

Now, you know, fast forward until Wednesday,

there were even more explosions,

except this time it's walkie-talkies

held by Hezbollah members.

And these were very large explosions.

They were actually more deadly and cause more destruction.
