Imagine someone gave out pagers and walkie-talkies.
But these weren't ordinary devices; they were rigged to explode!
Last year, in Lebanon, Israel set off these booby-trapped devices, hurting lots of people.
Many people were injured, including children.
These attacks caused serious injuries like losing fingers, eyesight, and serious facial wounds.
