Pagers Used in Israeli Cyberterrorism on Lebanon Likely Made in Taiwan: Expert

Given that Hezbollah's technical experts conducted extensive security checks on the pagers after purchase, it was discovered that explosives were professionally concealed with no discernible difference in appearance or weight from similar products exported to other countries, the Iranian cybersecurity expert told Iranian News Agency. 

"This hostile act reflects the dominance of Zionism in today's digital world, backed by the terrorist US regime, by forming a cyber NATO with the goal of gaining access to nations' infrastructure. This is a warning to the relevant authorities in the country to avoid using non-home-made equipment in sensitive infrastructure," the expert stated.


The AR-924 is a rugged pager from Gold Apollo that is dust and waterproof, with a battery life of up to 85 days. It has a rechargeable battery that connects via USB-C.

Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah said it holds Israel “fully responsible” for pager explosions across Lebanon, which killed at least eleven people and wounded nearly 2,800 others, including a young girl. At least 200 of the wounded are in critical condition.
