Explosions from pagers used by Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria resulted in at least 11 deaths and over 2,700 injuries, with many casualties occurring in areas with a strong Hezbollah presence. The pagers were reportedly rigged with explosives by Israel's Mossad, according to Lebanese officials, as they detonated simultaneously after receiving a remote signal. Taiwanese company Gold Apollo, which branded the devices, stated that they were manufactured by Budapest-based BAC Consulting and emphasized that they had no involvement in production or the explosives. Gold Apollo's president, Hsu Ching-kuang, confirmed a licensing agreement with BAC but did not provide evidence of the contract and indicated potential legal action against the Hungarian firm. The AR-924 model pagers were designed to appear as standard communication devices, allowing Hezbollah to evade detection, but the explosions revealed a sophisticated infiltration of their supply chain. Investigations are ongoing, with Taiwanese officials visiting Gold Apollo as part of the inquiry into the incident.
