Large -scale Hezbollah attack: What is known about Page Pagers in Lebanon (Photo, Video)

As a result of the massive explosion of the pagers, about 3,000 people were injured, including Ambassador of Iran to Beirut. On Tuesday, September 17, thousands of pagers exploded in Lebanon, using the Hezbolla group, which was injured by up to 3,000 people. The focus gathered that the attack is known at the moment. According to The Washington Post, in the photo from the scene you can see the burned rear panels of the pagers with the inscription "Gold" above the number "AR-9".

The design of the text is similar to the backbone of the Pigers of the AR-924 Pigers manufactured by Gold Apollo, based on Taiwan and is one of the main manufacturers of pigers in the world. The Taiwan Ministry contacted the Gold Apollo and reported that the manufacturer "doubted that the products really belong to them. " According to the department, the company concluded that pagers could have been forged after export.

The ministry also noted that from 2022 to last month, Gold Apollo exported 260,000 pigers mainly to Europe and the US, but there were no direct exports to Lebanon. At the same time, Gold Apollo stated that they did not produce pagers that had exploded in Lebanon. According to the company, pagers were made by BAC in Budapest, which has a license to use the Gold Apollo trademark in some regions.

The CNN source in Lebanon's security stated that the explosion pagers were new, and they were bought by Hezbolla in recent months. However, the source did not specify the exact date of buying pagers and their model. According to CNN, the mass undermining of pagers in Lebanon occurred on Tuesday at 3:30 pm. It is reported that several districts of the country, including the southern suburbs of Beirut, were reported - a densely populated area, which is called the Humbolla's stronghold.

Reuters writes that nine people were killed and about 3,000 were injured, including Hezbolla fighters and Iran's ambassador to Beirut. A member of the Corps of the Guard of the Islamic Revolution of Iran (Quir) said the New York Times that pagers were beeps for 10 seconds before exploding. He noted that many people raised their devices to the eyes and face to read a message that caused the appropriate injuries.

In particular, it is reported that Iran's ambassador to Lebanon lost one eye and was injured in the other eye. According to the Director of the Research Group of Armyament Research Services on the social network X, the video published on the network shows that explosive devices were built into pagers. In his opinion, it was an "attack on a chain of deliveries.

" The Washington Post noted that modern consumer devices, including some pagers, have lithium-ion batteries that can explode or flash if they heat up or make direct contact with metals. However, experts consider Lithium batteries an extremely unlikely cause of pagan explosion in Lebanon.

"I saw enough lithium batteries to know: what we see in published videos does not match the fire of the battery electrochemistry in cheap batteries simply prevents them to blow them all in a very short period of time, as it was observed," said Jake Williams , Safety Researcher and Vice -Cresident on Hunter Strategy Research and Development. In July, Reuters reported that in recent months, Hezbolla has decided to use paguers to communicate after banning mobile phones on the battlefield.

The ban was related to fears that Israel could use phones to detect and watch. "When you face certain technological achievements, you need to go back to old methods-phones, personal communication . . . Any method that allows you to bypass the technology," Cassem Cassir, Lebanon analyst, close to Hezbolla "said to the agency Cassem . CNN stated with reference to their sources that Israel stands in the pagan explosions in Lebanon.

According to journalists, it was a joint operation of the Israeli intelligence "Mossada" and the Israeli military. It is also reported that the Israeli military refused to publicly comment on this incident. Reuters reported, citing a source in the Lebanon security forces and another source that Mossad laid explosives in 5000 pagers imported by the Lebanese Hezbollah group several months before the explosions.

Reuters writes that hezbollah fighters have promised to take revenge for the pagan pagan, saying that Israel would bear a "just punishment". Lebanon Ziada Minister Makari called the "Israeli aggression" attack. Hezbolla's representative also told the agency on the face of anonymity that this attack was the "greatest security violation" of the group for almost a year of conflict with Israel.
