News summary

Cristiana Bársony-Arcidiacono, a British-educated CEO of BAC Consulting, has denied allegations of her company manufacturing pagers that exploded in Lebanon, killing 12 and injuring over 3,000 during a suspected Israeli operation. The pagers, which bore the branding of Taiwanese company Gold Apollo, were reportedly manufactured by BAC Consulting under a licensing agreement, but Bársony-Arcidiacono insists her firm was merely an intermediary in the supply chain. She stated, 'I do not make the pagers. I am just the intermediary. I think you got it wrong.' The explosions are believed to have been triggered by Israeli intelligence, which allegedly infiltrated the devices with explosives months prior. Gold Apollo's chairman expressed embarrassment over the incident and plans to sue BAC Consulting, indicating that complications arose regarding financial transactions. This incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, with the latter vowing to retaliate.
