New Details of Hezbollah Exploding Pagers’ Supply Chain Emerge [Video]

A Taiwanese manufacturer revealed on Wednesday that it authorized its brand on the pagers used in Tuesday’s deadly attack on Hezbollah.

Though the pagers have been exported across a number of international markets, Gold Apollo say these specific devices were manufactured by Budapest-based BAC Consulting KFT.

Gold Apollo’s statement clarified that while they authorized BAC to use their brand for product sales in designated regions, the design and manufacturing of the products were solely BAC’s responsibility.

“According to the cooperation agreement, we authorize BAC to use our brand trademark for product sales in designated regions, but the design and manufacturing of the products are solely the responsibility of BAC,” the statement read.

Hezbollah and the Lebanese government have blamed Israel for the sophisticated remote attack.

An American official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Israel briefed the United States following the attacks.
