One Message That Blasted 3000 Pagers at Once

Transcription

177th September 2024, at around 3:30 in the afternoon, a cloud of fear spread over Lennon when thousands of pager devices simultaneously exploded with a loud bang. This pager device was used by members of the Hezbollah group to communicate with each other. At that time, no one was in the market, someone was at home, and someone was sitting in a gathering. Hezbollah members said that there was no message in their pager device. All the devices that were on at that time exploded with a huge explosion. So far, 12 people have lost their lives in this accident, including some children, while more than 3000 people have been seriously injured in different areas.

The explosions took place in Lebanon, while their echoes were heard across the world in the form of news headlines: Emergency declared in Lebanon; stampedes everywhere. There was noise of ambulances, and there were so many wounds in the hospitals that, let alone beds, there was not even a shortage of chairs. This matter had not yet come to an end, and the situation had not yet come under control when the next day, on 18 September 2024, handheld radio sets of Hezbollah were also destroyed. More than 3000 devices exploded simultaneously. Bulla has put the responsibility of all this on his biggest enemy, Israel, but how did all this happen?

Once again in the videos of Z TV, Khushamadid Nazreen. The pager device works through a wireless communication system. It does not use any kind of SIM card or mobile network. Only text messages can be received in this device through radio signals. While it does not have the function of receiving calls or audio messages, Hezbollah's group was earlier dependent on cell phones. They were afraid that Israel, with whom they have been fighting for the last several months, would use cell phones by hacking and tracking their location. This was the reason why they decided to ban mobile phones and use the simplest and most secure device, the Pager, which was being used by Israel's intelligence agency, Musadia.

Important updates together in this announcement group. Everyone could receive it. All the pager devices are connected to a pager network. Whenever a message has to be sent, it first goes to the pager network, and then this message reaches all the other pagers connected to the network. When the signal reaches the pager, the pager checks the signal with its unique identification code. If the signal matches, the pager accepts the message.

It is being told that more than 3000 pages have been torn, most of which have been torn near Saran, Lebanon, i.e., the Israel-Lebanon border in this attack, where thousands of Hezbollah fighters were killed. While people were injured, Iran's Ambassador Mustabada says that the Israeli Intelligence Agency is behind this act. Until now, Israel has not given its opinion regarding the pager blast, but after all, what was the device used in so many pagers and who?

If seen in the photo of a torn pager, the name of the Taiwan-based Gold Apollo Company was written on the back. However, Gold Apollo says that they not only manufactured these devices but also permitted a company named BAC to use its brand name. If this work has been done at the production level, that is, while manufacturing the devices, the explosive system has been installed in them, then it means that this was being planned for a long time. They had ordered about 5,000 Gold Apollo pagers, which arrived in Lannon in early 2024.

Gold Apollo founder Su Ching Kwang says that the pagers that were torn were not manufactured in Taiwan but were manufactured by BAC company. At first, he refused to reveal the location of this company, but seeing the delicacy of the matter, he told that it is a company from Budapest, the capital of Hungary. This particular model of pager was 924. According to Joe Gold Apollo, the Hungarian firm BAC manufactured it, designed it, its functions, and sold it; everything was done by this same firm, only the name Gold Apollo.

The founder of Apollo, who used "Gold," said that this company has been his partner for about 3 years. However, he is also surprised at one thing: This is a Hungarian company, but their payments come from the Middle East. The website of BAC Consulting is not open yet. It was also written in it that they deal in telecommunication products and have been in this business for the last 10 years. On checking the registration of this company in Hungary, it was found that BAC works in electronic medical devices, electronic parts, as well as in the fields of oil and gas.

Now, the company doing all this would obviously be spread on a very large level, but it is not so. When the German news agency DW reported about BAC, they visited the registered office address, which was a small house with an A4 paper stuck outside it. The name of BAC Consulting, along with other companies, was found written on this paper. People present in the building were asked, and when I went there, even they had no knowledge about this company.

Now it is being understood that it is a shell company, that is, a company which is not for any specific work but is involved in illegal activities or something else on top and something else behind it. When the financial records of the company were examined, it was found that BAC has recently declared a profit of 18 million Hungarian Forints, which is approximately $5700 when the pager incident occurred in Lebanon.

BAC's website was accessible at the time when the blasts caused devastation, but after some time, an error started appearing as if its access had been deliberately closed. According to the official records, BAC's CEO is Christina Barsoni, with a woman named Arshia Kono, who has been with the company since 2016. The name of the owner of the company is said to be Barsoni Ashiya Kono. Based on the name, both of them seem to have a husband-wife relationship.

Phone calls were made, but no one answered. Only NBC News reported that they had talked to Christina on the phone, who said that she works with Gold Apollo but only as a commission agent, i.e., pagers. They do not manufacture. Now, when this whole matter came up, the Hungarian government also jumped in. Their spokesperson said in a tweet that BAC has some kind of manufacturing facility.

Due to BAC's attitude and lack of response in Hungary, many people are assuming that the pagers were tampered with before delivery to Hezbollah or at the time of manufacturing. Whereas perhaps this BAC company was also directly involved in the pager attacks. There should be no involvement in this because if it was so, then this company would have closed its website already or would have disappeared somewhere to avoid this allegation.

It is also possible that this company can also be used for darker purposes. Experts believe that 810 grams of explosive were already hidden in the pagers, for which a separate electronic chip must have been installed to trigger it. That chip did not activate the message on other messages coming on the pager but was activated by sending a special code number. The explosive must have been activated and detonated.

Now the question arises: since Hezbollah's pager network was a private network, that is, only the administrator of that network could send messages, or his device is registered on the network, then if that special code number is sent on this private network, then who sent it? This can be possible only in three cases: either there is Musadia in the group of Hezbollah; the private radio frequency network can also be hacked; or it can be detonated by making a separate mobile network connection inside the pager and sending an SMS or calling.

This is the matter of pager blasts which caused huge havoc in Lebanon on the first day. The next day, some walkie talkie radio sets of Hezbollah also exploded simultaneously in the same manner as the pagers had exploded. One walkie talkie exploded when a member of Hezbollah was talking to one of his own who had died in the blast the previous day. In the pictures of torn walkie talkie sets included in the funeral of the friend, it was seen that these were made by I.Com company, which is a Japanese company. However, it is said that this particular model of walkie talkie, i V82, had been stopped from production in 2014 itself.

Hezbollah had also bought these walkie talkie sets about 5 months ago, at the same time when pager devices came to Lebanon. The Lebanese Security Force says that Israel's agency Masad is quite famous for carrying out such subtle operations in other countries, and it was they who started using pagers and walkie-talkies months before the big planning. Explosives must have been planted in the talkies, and then they must have been detonated after seeing the opportunity.

Let us tell you here that in the past, Israel's Masad agency has been accused of many such operations which were done secretly. In 2010, Masad launched a computer worm named Stuxnet targeting Iran's nuclear program. America is also linked with Israel in this attack. There was Operation Tortured in 2007, in which Israel hacked Syria's air defense system so that their system could not detect Israeli jets.

It is thought to be Musadia's work, that is, it has secretly spied on them. The pager attack in Lebanon is being considered as our Noyena attack, which is yet to be recorded in history. This speech, which has no precedent to date, has sparked a new debate across the world: If this work can be done with pagers or walkie talkies, can our mobile phones also be vulnerable? Will we be able to remain safe or not?

Wars have been happening before and will continue to happen in the future as well, but a new way of attacking has been invented due to which it seems very difficult to stay safe. What is your opinion about this? Do tell me in the comment section. See you in the next great video!
