   This article elucidates a lot of things about the pagers:   
      
   https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/hezbollah-s-deadly-pagers-w   
   re-sourced-from-a-taiwanese-company-and-contained-explosive-mate   
   ial-planted-by-israel-reports/ar-AA1qKmVL   
      
   Hezbollah's exploding pagers were sourced from a Taiwanese company,   
   officials told NYT and Reuters.   
   Both outlets reported that Israel also planted the pagers with small   
   amounts of explosives.   
   Gold Apollo, the Taiwanese company named, denied on Wednesday that it   
   manufactured the pagers.   
   Thousands of Hezbollah-owned pagers that detonated in unison on Tuesday   
   were made in Taiwan and had been tampered with by Israel, according to   
   multiple reports.   
      
   The wireless beeper explosions, now widely considered an unusual and   
   audacious attack on the Iran-backed militant group, raise serious   
   questions about Hezbollah's security. Lebanese health officials say the   
   detonations injured at least 2,700 people and killed nine more.   
   The New York Times reported that Hezbollah had purchased the pagers from   
   Gold Apollo, a manufacturer in Taiwan.   
      
   The Times cited unnamed officials, at least some of whom were American,   
   and wrote that Hezbollah had primarily obtained the AP924 model of Gold   
   Apollo's pagers, though it bought another three models.   
      
   The outlet further reported that two officials said Israeli forces had   
   planted small amounts of explosive material — as little as one or two   
   ounces — next to the pagers' batteries with remote switches.   
      
   But Gold Apollo's founder, Hsu Ching-Kuang, told reporters on Wednesday   
   that his company did not make the exploded pagers.   
      
   Per Reuters, he said the devices were instead manufactured by a European   
   firm that had the right to use Gold Apollo's brand.   
      
   "The product was not ours. It was only that it had our brand on it," he   
   said, according to the outlet.   
      
   Hsu called the incident "very embarrassing," but said his company had   
   also been made a victim, per Reuters.   
      
   Reuters had earlier reported similar findings to The Times, citing an   
   unnamed senior Lebanese source who said that Hezbollah had ordered 5,000   
   beepers, including the AP924, from Gold Apollo.   
      
   The same source told the outlet that Mossad, Israel's intelligence   
   service, had planted a board inside the pagers that contained explosive   
   material and could remotely receive a detonation code. "   
      
   "It's very hard to detect it through any means. Even with any device or   
   scanner," the source said, per Reuters.   
      
   The outlet added that it had examined some of the exploding pagers and   
   said their design and stickers matched devices built by Gold Apollo.   
      
   Gold Apollo and the Israeli Defense Ministry did not immediately respond   
   to requests for comment from Business Insider.   
      
   Hezbollah and Lebanon have both blamed Israel for the exploding pagers,   
   though Tel Aviv has not claimed responsibility.   
      
   Pagers became a significant part of Hezbollah's communication network   
   earlier this year, when its leaders decided to use the devices out of   
   concern that its cellphone network had been compromised.   
      
   A July report from Reuters citing multiple sources familiar with   
   Hezbollah said that the group had made the switch due to the loss of   
   several commanders amid hostilities with Israel.   
      
   The exploding pagers have led to heightened fears that Israel and   
   Hezbollah may escalate their conflict into a wide-scale or direct war.   
      
   Both have been conducting cross-border strikes against each other for   
   months in the wake of Hamas' October 7 attack and Israel's subsequent   
   deadly campaign in Gaza. The fighting has displaced tens of thousands of   
   residents on either side.   
      
   Before the pagers exploded on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin   
   Netanyahu announced his administration's war goal of returning Israeli   
   evacuees to their homes near Lebanon.   
      
   "The Security Cabinet has updated the objectives of the war to include   
   the following: Returning the residents of the north securely to their   
   homes," Netanyahu's office said in a statement.   
      
   "Israel will continue to act to implement this objective," it added.   
      
   He had made no comment or hint implying involvement or planning in any   
   specific attack on Hezbollah.
