The Beirut port blast four years ago left enduring mental and psychological scars for those who lived through it.

Chris Knayzeh , now a lecturer at a university in France , was visiting Lebanon when news broke Tuesday of a deadly attack in which thousands of handheld pagers were blowing up in homes, shops, markets and streets across the country.

A day later , a similar attack struck walkie-talkies, killing at least 37 people and injuring more than 3,000 , many of them civilians.

Lebanon 's civil aviation authorities ban transporting of pagers and walkie-talkies on all airplanes departing from Beirut ’s Rafik Hariri International Airport “until further notice” Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah vows to retaliate against Israel for the attacks.

“The shock, the disarray, the trauma is reminiscent of Beirut after the port explosion. Only this time it was not limited to a city but spread across the country”.
