The Mossad allegedly placed in the bomb a small amount (reportedly less than 20 grams) of a substance called pentaerythritol tetranitrate, also known as PETN, which is similar to nitroglycerin and is the main ingredient in the plastic explosive Semtex.
PETN was placed inside a walkie-talkie and remotely increased the temperature of the battery, causing it to explode.

The Lebanese Red Cross said in a statement that it had dispatched 30 ambulances to respond to the multiple explosions in different locations.
