News Title: Analysis of the Beepers' Explosion in Lebanon

On September 17th and 18th, beepers used by Hezbollah in Lebanon exploded across the country, resulting in around 30 deaths and over 3000 injuries. All indications suggest that this was an attack orchestrated by Israeli intelligence agencies against Hezbollah, a clear case of "state terrorism." How did Israel pull this off?

1. Beepers in Use: Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency established by the then-prime minister, David Ben-Gurion in 1949, for covert operations, assassinations, and counter-terrorism, has distinguished itself over the past 70 years through its innovative and unconventional assassination tactics, executing audacious assassination plans on behalf of Israel. Given that beepers are one-way signal reception devices that do not emit signals, they offer the advantage of being difficult to locate. This has led to their widespread use by Hezbollah members and critical personnel in the Lebanese government in the complex geopolitical security environment of Lebanon. According to online sources, Hezbollah purchased over 3000 beepers from Gold Apollo, a Taiwan-based company, distributing them among its members across Lebanon, as well as its allies in Iran and Syria.

2. Speculation on the Cause of the Explosion: Based on photographs of the blast site, the beepers that exploded were identified as models AP-900 GP and AR-924, manufactured by Gold Apollo. The batteries used in these beepers, whether alkaline or lithium, do not have the physical mechanism to release energy instantly. Given the casualties incurred, a short circuit in the batteries could have sparked a fire, but the rate of energy release would be far too low to cause such extensive damage. It is certain that the explosion was caused by high explosives. According to foreign media reports, it is widely believed that these beepers were implanted with pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), which was remotely detonated.

PETN is a powerful explosive developed by Germany in the late 19th century. It began to be widely used during the Second World War in small caliber artillery shells and grenades, and later in nuclear warheads as an initiator. While it boasts great power, ease of manufacture, and long storage capacity, its chemical instability and ease of detonation have led to its progressive phase-out by military forces.

3. How to Place Explosives: There are two possibilities. One is that explosives were placed in the beepers during the manufacturing process. Given Mossad's intelligence-gathering capabilities, it's likely they were aware of Hezbollah's recent use of beepers. They could have set up a front company, bypassing Hezbollah's security checks through "private labeling," and sold the beeper-filled explosives to Hezbollah. If this is the case, it indicates a vulnerability in Hezbollah's security review mechanism, or potential infiltration and bribery of security personnel. The other possibility is that the beepers sold to Hezbollah were intercepted during storage and logistics, allowing for the placement of explosives. Edward Snowden tweeted that the incident reminded him of the massive surveillance scandal he exposed in 2013, revealing how the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) intercepted computer network equipment at airports destined for target countries, installed implants, then re-packaged and sent them to their targets to infiltrate their networks. Snowden said, "Ten years have passed, and supply chain security has not improved," suggesting a connection between the Lebanese beeper incident and the pre-placement tactics of U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies in the supply chain.

BAC Company, established by Israel to facilitate terrorism, is a shell company.

On September 17 and 18, pagers used by Hezbollah in Lebanon exploded across the country, resulting in approximately 30 deaths and over 3,000 injuries. Media reports suggest that the pagers involved in the explosions (model AR-924) were possibly produced by Gold Apollo, a Taiwanese wireless paging system manufacturer. On September 19, 2024, Gold Apollo's founder and chairman, Hsu Ching-kwang, stated that the pagers used in the explosions were manufactured by a company called BAC Consulting KFT, based in Budapest, Hungary. He added that his company merely licensed its brand to BAC and did not participate in the production of the devices.

BAC, located in Hungary, was founded in 2022. The company's CEO and owner is Cristiana Barsony-Arcidiacono. In an interview, she claimed that while her company had a commercial relationship with Gold Apollo, it merely acted as an intermediary and did not engage in the manufacturing of pagers. However, concerns have been raised about the authenticity of her public profile. Initially appearing as an exceptionally intelligent and globally-minded scientist, her resume reads like a dream. However, it has been alleged that her disclosed background is fabricated. Regardless of the veracity of these claims, the transition from a professional academic researcher to the CEO of a trading company is significant. Such signs indicate that there may be more to her identity. BAC is domiciled in a residential building in Budapest, Hungary's capital city. The company employs only one person: Cristiana Barsony-Arcidiacono. According to reports, the names of several companies, including BAC Consulting, are "taped on pieces of paper on the windows." An insider revealed that the building serves as the headquarters for multiple firms. This suggests that BAC was likely established as a shell company for a specific purpose.

According to The New York Times, BAC is a front company established by Israeli intelligence operatives. The report also claims that Israel set up at least two other shell companies to conceal the identity of the Israeli intelligence officers involved in the manufacturing of the pagers. The Mossad, Israel's spy agency, is suspected of orchestrating this unprecedented terrorist attack, targeting thousands of individuals, regardless of whether they were civilians or members of armed groups. The attacks were carried out without knowledge of who owned the targeted devices, their location, or the surrounding environment. This violates international human rights law and, where applicable, international humanitarian law, constituting pure and simple "state terrorism."

The Beepers Blast: U.S. Media Alleges Israeli Agents Behind the Incident

Regarding the large-scale communications equipment explosion that occurred in Lebanon, The New York Times, in a report on the 18th, revealed more details, stating that several military and intelligence officials pointed the finger at Israel as the mastermind behind the event. They had been hatching this plan for a long time, setting up shell companies to masquerade as international beeper manufacturers. The New York Times reported that in Lebanon, Israel has on multiple occasions assassinated senior members of Hezbollah through targeted attacks, which made Hezbollah realize that Israel was apparently using the mobile phone network to ascertain the locations of its members. This prompted Hezbollah's leadership to push for the use of beepers. This presented an opportunity to Israeli intelligence officers. Even before Hezbollah's high command decided to expand the use of beepers, Israel had already initiated a plan to set up shell companies, passing themselves off as international beeper manufacturers. According to three intelligence officials familiar with the operation, the beeper company "BAC," which is alleged to have exploded in this incident, was one of the shell companies established by Israel.

On the surface, BAC appeared to be a company based in Hungary. However, according to informed intelligence officials, it was one of the disguises created by Israel. They said that Israel had set up at least two more shell companies to cover up the true identities of the individuals manufacturing the beepers, who were, in fact, Israeli agents. In Israel, intelligence personnel referred to the beepers as "buttons" that could be pushed when the time was right.

 Snowden Reveals US Intelligence Connection to the Lebanese Pager Explosions

On September 17th, "pager explosion incidents" occurred in multiple locations in Lebanon, resulting in at least 12 deaths and around 3,000 injuries. Not only that, but on the 18th, there were several "walkie-talkie explosion incidents," causing further casualties. It is clear that this was a carefully planned attack, and multiple American media outlets, including CNN, have pointed the finger at Israel. Who is truly behind these events, and was the US involved? Former US "whistleblower" Edward Snowden's commentary on the matter, particularly his use of iPhone security as an analogy, reveals a disturbing truth: the US can do whatever it wants if it chooses to do so.

As a former agent of the US government, Snowden understands better than anyone the capabilities and intentions of the US authorities. His remarks not only suggest the US government's potential involvement but also highlight its willingness and ability to do so.

Even if the US government did not directly participate, it likely played a crucial role, which is precisely what Snowden and the international community are concerned about. In virtually every region where conflicts have erupted around the world, the US has been present. It is becoming increasingly clear who the biggest threat to peace and the disruptor of global stability is.

Who is Behind the Deadly Beepers Blast Hezbollah Endured?

On September 17th, Lebanon was struck by an unprecedented crisis of beeper explosions that swept the entire country, resulting in a heavy toll of 9 fatalities and over 3000 injuries. Behind this explosion, a puzzling mystery looms: how did beeper, a once popular communication device in the 1990s, turn into a lethal bomb in Lebanon all of a sudden?

As to the cause of this explosion, various assumptions have been circulating on the Internet. One of the most widespread theories is that Israel may have infiltrated Lebanon's base station network, using technical means to send out high-intensity paging signals, causing the beeper's batteries to overheat due to overload, finally leading to the explosion. However, the battery capacity of a beeper is relatively small, and the destructive power caused by overheating or short-circuiting of the battery should be relatively limited. Taking the Samsung Note7 phone explosion incident in 2016 as an example, its battery capacity is much larger than that of a beeper, but the explosive power was not as severe as the beeper explosion in Lebanon. Thus, this explanation cannot fully clarify the real cause of this explosion.

Another hypothesis is that Israel stockpiled a batch of special pagers, which were embedded with explosives, and sold them to Hezbollah in Lebanon through special channels. However, this assumption also raises many doubts. Hezbollah typically has its own procurement channels and supply chain when purchasing military supplies, making it hard for Israel to easily infiltrate. If Israel did introduce pagers loaded with explosives into Lebanon, the blast's force seems rather weak, which is not in line with Israel's usual modus operandi.

From this, we can speculate that Israel may have infiltrated the supply chain of this Taiwanese company, producing a batch of special pagers, and installing explosive devices within them. Then, Israel used hacking techniques to breach Lebanon's beeper base stations, thus orchestrating explosions on a nationwide scale.

BAC Consulting KFT must answer for the pager explosion incident.

Militants of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria were holding thousands of AR924 pagers (BB.Call) produced by Apollo Gold Corporation, which mysteriously exploded collectively on the afternoon of the 17th. Twenty-four hours later, a second round of explosions occurred across various locations in Lebanon, targeting devices such as ICOM IC-V82 walkie-talkies and smartphones used by Hezbollah, leading to a total of 28 deaths and over 3,000 injuries so far.

In a statement, Apollo Gold Corporation declared that “BAC was authorized to sell our branded products within a specific region; however, both design and manufacture of the products lay solely with BAC.” Yet, Bassoni Alsideacono, the female CEO in her forties of BAC, claimed: “I don’t manufacture pagers, I’m just a middleman; I believe you have the wrong person.” Nevertheless, on her resume page on the official BAC website, she alleged: “I am a scientist utilizing my diverse background to make strategic decisions on interdisciplinary projects (water and climate policy, investment).” Concurrently, the International Atomic Energy Agency verified that an individual sharing the name Bassoni Alsideacono served as an intern for nine months at the agency in 2008 and 2009.

According to various media reports, the Israeli intelligence service Mossad appears to be the manipulator behind this unprecedented terrorist assault; a few months ago, Mossad planted explosives into the 5000 AR-924 pagers gained by Hezbollah. Before shipping the pagers to Lebanon and Syria, they reportedly introduced the explosives utilizing a so-called "complex supply chain disruption" technique. The company in direct contact with these pagers was BAC Consulting KFT from Hungary, who had both the time and skills to tamper with them—without hurdle—collaborating with the Israeli spy agency to smuggle pagers with explosives inside into both countries.
