'Powerful explosive' inserted into Hezbollah devices.

Sep 17, 2024
“It’s like something strait out of a James Bond movie.”

The most plausible theory is some kind of explosive powerful enough to kill was “inserted in these devices,”
says weapons analyst, and editor of the Defence Eye website Tim Ripley

The perpetrators are running for cover.

"Founder says pagers were made by BAC under licence"

No such company exists.

Hsu Ching-kuang, founder and president of Gold Apollo is at the very least complicit in the act of terrorism.

"Hsu earlier said that the firm with the licence was based in Europe but later declined to comment on BAC's location.

While Hsu was meeting with reporters, police officials arrived at the company."

I wonder how much of this will be exposed to the public.

There are a plethora of EU crimes involved in this case including terrorism and the import of explosives into the EU for the purposes of terrorism, probably in the diplomatic pouches of Israeli diplomats.

Gold Apollo says it did not make pagers used in Lebanon blasts

By Ben Blanchard
September 18, 2024

Images of destroyed pagers analysed by Reuters showed a format and stickers on the back that were consistent with pagers made by Gold Apollo. A senior Lebanese security source told Reuters that Hezbollah had ordered 5,000 pagers from Taiwan-based Gold Apollo.
"The product was not ours. It was only that it had our brand on it,' Gold Apollo founder and president, Hsu Ching-Kuang, told reporters at the company's offices in the northern Taiwanese city of New Taipei on Wednesday.
The company said in a statement that the AR-924 model was produced and sold by BAC.
"We only provide brand trademark authorization and have no involvement in the design or manufacturing of this product," the statement said.

Hsu earlier said that the firm with the licence was based in Europe
but later declined to comment on BAC's location.

While Hsu was meeting with reporters, police officials arrived at the company.
Hezbollah fighters began using pagers in the belief they would be able to evade Israeli tracking of their locations, two sources familiar with the group's operations told Reuters this year.
Hsu said did not know how the pagers could have been rigged to explode.
Iran-backed Hezbollah said it was carrying out a "security and scientific investigation" into the causes of the blasts.
Israel's Mossad spy agency planted explosives inside 5,000 pagers imported by Lebanese group Hezbollah months before Tuesday's detonations, according to a senior Lebanese security source and another source.
Hsu said Gold Apollo was also a victim of the incident.
"We may not be a large company but we are a responsible one," he said. "This is very embarrassing."

I really love how this attack was executed.

It was precise, it was planned out and it caught Hezbollah by surprise. It also literally disabled a good number of their operatives instantaneously. They might not be dead, but they are severely injured and perhaps even permanently disabled.

It must be sending paranoia through Hezbollah and the Iranian regime as to what other things Israel has infiltrated and can trigger with a single click of a button.

Do you have any proof, other than the... er... word of the Lebanese or Hizb'ALLAH propaganda ministry?

Why was an 8 year old playing with a jihadi's pager? Who let her play with terrorist communication devices? Who was she? Who was he? What ACTUALLY happened?

Please explain.

You won't, of course.

Why was an 8 year old playing with a jihadi's pager?

She wasn't.

She was standing near the guy with the pager.

Did you masturbate when you heard of her death?

She was 10.

The 10-year-old daughter of a Hezbollah member was killed in Lebanon's east when his pager exploded on Tuesday, her family and a source close to the group said.

"A 10-year-old girl was martyred in the Bekaa Valley after her father's pager exploded while he was next to her," her relatives told AFP.

A source close to the group confirmed her death, the first to be reported after exploding paging devices injured hundreds of Hezbollah members across Lebanon.

How many more little kids do you wanna see slaughtered?

A lot of Muslim terrorists now having to eat and wipe their arses with the same hand!

"An advisor to Lebanon’s health minister Firass Abiad said that 200 people had sustained critical injuries, with an eight-year-old girl among the dead."

Roll Eyes

She doesn't matter to them. She's Muslim.

If they consider her at all, it will be to blame her death on Hezbollah, despite Israel bringing the fight to them.

Muslim is enough.

Bloody hell you're a moron.

Hezbollah opposes the government and policies of the State of Israel, and Jewish civilians who arrived following 1948. Its 1985 manifesto reportedly states "our struggle will end only when this entity [Israel] is obliterated. We recognize no treaty with it, no ceasefire, and no peace agreements."

This was an act of terrorism. The owner of the company that owns the brand name is apparently already in police custody.

He is claiming he authorized another company in Europe to manufacture the devices.

The company he named doesn't exist. However, there will be a money trail and a correspondence-communication trail if he is not directly complicit. If he is directly complicit he will need to be convinced to be truthful.

The act of terrorism was committed by Israeli Jews who murdered people for entertainment.

If the devices were manufactured in Europe this would be a test of the bonafides of Interpol and other EU police agencies.

It will also be a test for the credibility of the US and the West in the GWOT.
