Abstract :This study examines the utilization of pagers to be explosive systems in Lebanon and analyzes the role of such devices as a part of electronic and kinetic warfare. The objective of the research is to discuss the altering and transforming dimensions of these methods from the perspectives of strategy, technology, and war. In this context, a theoretical infrastructure was created throughout the study with a conceptual-descriptive method, and for this purpose, first-hand sources such as crime scene analyses and second-group sources such as academic literature and media news were used. The thematic analysis method was employed in order to assess the operational and regional extents of the explosives detonated via pagers in the research. The findings acknowledge the usage of pagers in such detonations, revealing a hybrid war strategy in which electronic manipulation and physical placement are used together. This is to say, the method reflects proximity to electronic warfare besides kinetic warfare. Using pager-detonated explosives is an instance of the changing nature of modern warfare, challenging traditional distinctions between electronic and kinetic methods. In this regard, the said incidents have been involved in the literature as the most present instances of electronic warfare. Comprehending these tactics has great significance in terms of improving effective countermeasures against emerging threats and updating the present legal frameworks.
