Israel allegedly placed small explosives on 5,000 pagers that arrived in Lebanon in recent months, tampering with them along the supply line. The Taiwanese manufacturer, Gold Apollo, has declined any

A wave of blasts emanating from Hezbollah pagers in Lebanon took place as people shopped for groceries, sat in cafes and drove in cars.

A Taiwanese firm's name appeared on Hezbollah's pagers that blew up in Lebanon, but the company says they were made by a Hungarian partner.

Israel's Mossad spy agency planted explosives inside 5,000 pagers imported by Lebanese group Hezbollah months before Tuesday's detonations, a senior Lebanese security source and another source told Reuters.

A company based in Hungary was responsible for manufacturing the pagers that exploded in Lebanon and Syria in an apparent Israeli operation targeting Hezbollah’s communications network, another firm whose brand was used on the devices said Wednesday.
