Good afternoon. More details, reactions and questions are emerging after the unprecedented attack against militant group Hezbollah, in which thousands of pagers were remotely and simultaneously detonated across Lebanon, killing at least nine people and wounding almost 3,000. Lebanon’s health minister, Firass Abiad, said a young girl was among the dead, and that at least 200 people had critical injuries.
The Taiwanese manufacturer linked to the pagers that exploded as part of the attack has said the devices were made by a company in Europe. “The product was not ours. It was only that it had our brand on it,” said Hsu Ching-Kuang, the founder of electronics company Gold Apollo.
