Tensions are running high over the sudden explosions of pagers and walkie talkies in unison, that belonged to Hezbollah leaders and officials located in Syria and Lebanon, according to latest reports. 9 people were killed and hundreds were injured in these explosions, with fears of more attacks in the near future. All fingers of accusations from Lebanon and Hezbollah's end are being laid on Israel and its intelligence networks, with claims that they tapped into the pager and walkie talkie's networks and caused these blasts, that all happened in unison, a rather strange and unheard phenomenon.

Who is the maker of the blasting pagers and walkie talkies?

The makers of the pagers and walkies that blasted to bits in synchronization, are reportedly a Taiwanese company, known as Gold Apollo. Hezbollah leaders and officials claimed that this company provided the devices that proved to majorly faulty, causing deaths and injuries. There were stickers and symbols of the company's logo on the blasted pieces, according to reports.

However, Gold Apollo has rejected the claims that they were the makers of the device and instead stated that it was manufactured by a European brand, that had the proprietary right to use their brand logo. However, as obnoxious as it may sound, the company shoved off all responsibility of these faulty devices and claimed that the company based in Taiwan had nothing to do with the explosions.

Sources claim pagers were embedded with explosive materials

A few sources, according to latest reports, claimed that the pagers being used in the first place, were laced with explosive materials, so that could be triggered and exploded at the same time. However, Tel Aviv has stayed mum, and not responded towards claiming responsibility in these circumstances.
