Recent reports have shed light on the use of pagers in an attack targeting members of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The pagers in question were manufactured by Gold Apollo, a Taiwanese company, and distributed by a European distributor. According to Gold Apollo's chairperson, Israel allegedly concealed explosives inside a batch of pagers intended for Hezbollah, with a remote detonation switch embedded within them.
Social media images from Lebanon have surfaced, showing damaged Gold Apollo pagers, including the AR924 model. While the exact location of these images could not be verified, they were posted on the same day as the reported explosions.
Gold Apollo's founder revealed that the company had entered into a contract with a European distributor to market their products under the Gold Apollo brand. This partnership, established approximately three years ago, initially involved the importation of various communication devices. Subsequently, the distributor expressed interest in producing their own pagers under the Gold Apollo name.
However, Gold Apollo encountered some irregularities in their dealings with the distributor, such as delays in wire transfers. The chairperson did not disclose the identity of the European company involved in these transactions.
