Witness describes loud bang, then blood on a man who had a wireless device

 A witness who was at a Hezbollah funeral in the southern suburbs of Beirut has described to CNN the chaos as walkie-talkies appeared to explode at around 5 p.m. local time (10 a.m. ET).

The witness, who cannot be named for security reasons, told CNN that a loud bang went off, followed by screaming.

They said that the man whose wireless device exploded was covered in blood and his hands had been blown off.

The reported walkie-talkie explosion comes just one day after hundreds of pagers detonated across Lebanon, killing at least 12 people and injuring 2,800 more.
