Reuters. (Lebanon Walkie-Talkies Blast) Suddenly explosions started taking place in the radio sets and other electronic equipment of Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon on Wednesday afternoon. It has been learned that 14 people have been killed and more than 450 injured in a series of explosions in the radio used for communication between Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters.

Apart from this, there are reports of explosions in solar energy equipment and many other equipment. This has created an atmosphere of panic and fear in Lebanon. About 24 hours before this, on Tuesday, thousands of pagers exploded in Lebanon in which 12 people were killed and about three thousand were injured.

Explosion in pager and radio set

To avoid the eyes of Israel, the enemy country equipped with advanced technology, Hezbollah uses equipment other than location tracking system - pagers and radio sets. The pagers and radio sets which exploded were purchased four-five months ago. The way the pagers and radio sets have exploded in Lebanon in two days is the first such incident in the world. The Israeli intelligence agency Mossad is being held responsible for these.

Fears of Israel-Hezbollah war

According to sources, Mossad, notorious for carrying out technology-based attacks, had installed high-capacity explosives inside these pagers and radio sets at the time of manufacturing. These same pagers and radio sets were imported (purchased) by Hezbollah a few months ago. This incident has increased tensions in West Asia and has raised the possibility of an Israel-Hezbollah war.

America appealed to the countries of the region to exercise restraint

Egyptian President Fatah al-Sisi has objected to the tension-escalating move and has declared support for Lebanon. While Jordan has accused Israel of pushing the region into the ravages of war. The US has appealed to the countries of the region to exercise restraint, while Russia has expressed the fear of the war spreading.

Support for Hamas continues in Gaza

Israel has not said anything yet on the incident of explosions in pager sets. However, the fight between Hezbollah and Israel has been going on since October 8, 2023. Hezbollah had started attacks on Israel in protest against the attack on Gaza. In response to the explosions in pager and radio sets, Hezbollah has said that it will continue to support Hamas in Gaza.

Fingers were blown off in the explosion

Now Israel is waiting for the response to the attack on pagers and radio sets, which will be given to it. The organization said, many Hezbollah fighters have been killed and injured in this attack. Looking at the condition of the injured admitted in the hospitals, it is known that a large number of people have injuries on their faces, some people have lost fingers in the explosion and most of the people have deep wounds on their hips or thighs due to the explosion.

The supplier Taiwanese company said we did not make the pagers

Taiwanese pager manufacturer Gold Apollo has denied manufacturing the pagers that exploded in Lebanon on Tuesday. It said the pagers were manufactured by European company BAC and Gold Apollo had only used its brand name on them. According to an official associated with the Lebanese security system, Hezbollah had ordered Gold Apollo to supply 5,000 pagers earlier this year.

brand name used

Gold Apollo founder Su Ching-Kwang said in New Taipei that the pagers that exploded were made by the Hungarian company BAC under our name. Kwang said that the pagers sent to Lebanon were not made by us - they only used our brand name. Whereas in Hungary, the company registered under the name BAC Consulting in the capital Budapest, its address is in a residential area, although no company is working at the spot.

Exploding pagers

CEO of BAC Consulting, Cristiana Barsoni, said that she is a consultant for the company and she also advises many other companies. Meanwhile, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Arban has said that the pagers which exploded in Lebanon were not manufactured in his country. The government has reached this conclusion after investigation following the statement of the Taiwanese company.

Israeli army's intelligence unit also under suspicion

The Israeli army's intelligence wing 8200 is also being suspected of being responsible for the explosions of pagers, radios and other electronic devices in Lebanon. Intelligence sources in Western countries estimate that this Israeli unit is responsible for planning and executing the explosions in Lebanon.
