STOP Israeli state terrorism with sanctions, campaigners demanded today in the wake of the pagers attack in Lebanon.

The call came after pagers used by Hezbollah members exploded nearly simultaneously in Lebanon and Syria on Tuesday, killing at least 12 people, including two children, and wounding around 2,800. 

Multiple explosions were reported today at the site of a funeral for three Hezbollah members and a child killed by the pagers.
