Explosions of Hezbollah Pagers in Lebanon Kill Nine
News summary

A coordinated cyberattack involving pagers used by Hezbollah resulted in explosions across Lebanon on Tuesday, killing at least 11 people and injuring nearly 3,000. The pagers, imported from Taiwanese company Gold Apollo, were tampered with before reaching Hezbollah, with explosive materials embedded within, which detonated after receiving a false message appearing to originate from Hezbollah leadership. Both the U.S. State Department and Pentagon confirmed that America had no prior knowledge or involvement in the incident and is currently gathering information. Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate against Israel, which they accuse of orchestrating the blasts. The Taiwanese manufacturer, Gold Apollo, stated they only provided branding and were unaware of any malfeasance regarding the pagers. Hezbollah has initiated an investigation into the blasts as tensions in the region escalate.
