The Turkish intelligence has seized 1,300 booby-trapped pagers intended for Lebanon, identical to those used in the attack in the country in September, Turkiye’s Sabah newspaper reported.

According to the report, a few days after the Mossad bombing of pagers in Lebanon, another 1,300 pagers were seized in Istanbul airport en route to Lebanon.

According to the report, the Turkish Intelligence Organisation (MIT) received information about the pager shipment and began inspecting airports and ports, discovering that the shipment was planned for 27 September.

1300 or 13,000? The title has an extra 0 and the comma is weird.

The article body repeatedly says 1,300

That definitely looks like a headline typo. I have corrected it in the post.
