A series of pager bombings in Lebanon have resulted in at least nine deaths and nearly 3,000 injuries, with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah accusing Israel of orchestrating the attacks. The pagers, which bore the brand of Taiwanese company Gold Apollo, were licensed to a European company, BAC Consulting, responsible for their design and manufacture. Gold Apollo's founder, Hsu Ching-kuang, emphasized that the company did not produce the pagers and plans to take legal action against BAC for misusing its brand. Reports suggest that explosive materials were covertly implanted in the devices before they detonated. The incident has raised concerns about Taiwan's tech industry being drawn into international conflicts, despite analysts asserting that no Taiwanese company would willingly engage in such activities. The Taiwanese government confirmed it had no records of direct exports of the devices to Lebanon, indicating potential modifications after manufacturing.
