No planted explosives so I’m assuming anything with a battery or power supply can be made to explode if hacked inside the firmware? I hear reports of watches, home appliances, cars, bikes etc. exploding.

Suppose Lebanon's car batteries have been compromised...

Link? I haven't seen anything about cars/bikes - maybe there were Hezbollah radios inside them?

Maybe it was misinformation on X i saw many different tweets saying stuff like that.
