Taiwan’s Gold Apollo failed to originate the pagers that were passe in the detonations in Lebanon on Tuesday, the corporate’s founder Hsu Ching-Kuang suggested newshounds on Wednesday.

No longer lower than nine other folks were killed and nearly 3,000 wounded when pagers passe by Hezbollah participants detonated simultaneously across Lebanon on Tuesday.

Photos of destroyed pagers analysed by Reuters confirmed a format and stickers on the motivate that were per pagers made by Gold Apollo. A senior Lebanese security supply suggested Reuters that Hezbollah had ordered 5,000 pagers from the Taiwan-essentially essentially based Gold Apollo.

Hsu said the pagers passe in the explosion were made by a company in Europe that had the trustworthy to spend the Taiwanese firm’s ticket.

“The product became no longer ours. It became handiest that it had our ticket on it,’ he said.

Hsu failed to name the corporate which he said manufactured the pagers, adding Gold Apollo became also a sufferer of the incident.

“We’re a responsible company. Here is intensely embarrassing,” he said.

Hezbollah opponents started the usage of pagers in the conclusion they’d be ready to evade Israeli tracking of their locations, two sources conscious of the crew’s operations suggested Reuters this year.
