Both attacks, which are widely believed to be carried out by Israel targeting Hezbollah, have hiked fears that the two sides' simmering conflict could escalate into all-out war.
pagers used by hundreds of members of the militant group Hezbollah explodedhave also deepened concerns about the scope of potentially-compromised devices, particularly after such bombings have killed or injured so many civilians.On Tuesday, pagers used by hundreds of Hezbollah members exploded almost simultaneously in parts of Lebanon as well as Syria. The attack killed at least 12 people - including two young children - and wounded thousands more.
When speaking to troops on Wednesday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant made no mention of the explosions of electronic devices, but praised the work of Israel's army and security agencies and said "we are at the start of a new phase in the war."A Hezbollah official told the AP that walkie-talkies used by the group exploded on Wednesday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Taiwanese company Gold Apollo said Wednesday it had authorized use of its brand on the AR-924 pager model - but that a Budapest, Hungary-based company called BAC Consulting KFT produced and sold the pagers. Novak said Icom introduced the V-82 model more than two decades ago and it has long since been discontinued. It was designed for amateur radio operators and for use in social or emergency communications, including by people tracking tornadoes or hurricanes, he said.
