Emirates Airlines has banned pagers and walkie-talkies on flights following attacks involving explosive communication devices in Lebanon last month. The devices, linked to Hezbollah, caused multiple blasts, with many blaming Israel, though it has not claimed responsibility. The airline said these items will be confiscated if found in baggage. Emirates also announced that flights to Iraq and Iran remain suspended, with Jordan flights resuming on Sunday. Flights to Lebanon will stay suspended until October 15 due to ongoing Israeli airstrikes near Beirut's airport. Other airlines have also halted flights in the region due to rising tensions.
