Responding to the report, Bulgarian authorities said no customs operations related to the pagers had occurred in the country. They confirmed that they were investigating any potential involvement of Norta Global in the supply chain.
🇮🇱l🇱🇧.Gold Apollo had granted a license for the AR-924 pagers since 2021

A license was purchased from Gold Apollo by Teresa Wu, and her “big boss, called Tom” in 2021, writes Reuters

The Taiwanese company claims it is a victim

The pagers were advertised on apollosystemshk.com, which gave an address in Hong Kong (China) for a company called Apollo Systems HK

No such company exists at the address or in corporate records

Emphasis was put on the outstanding performance of the (fake) LI-BT783 “Made in China” batteries (archive). Unlike the disposable batteries in older generation pagers, it boasted 85 days of autonomy and could be recharged via a USB cable

But their capacity was 4x less than expected for a 35g battery

They had a novel detonator & plastic explosives invisible to X-ray

According to a Lebanese source, upon receiving the pagers in February, Hezbullah put them through airport security scanners

In late 2023, two battery stores came online, listing the LI-BT783

CONTINUED: The assembly was unusual because it did not rely on a standard miniaturised detonator, typically a metallic cylinder, the source and two bomb experts said. All three spoke on conditions of anonymity.

Without any metal components, the material used to trigger detonation had an edge: like the plastic explosives, it was not detected by X-ray.

Upon receiving the pagers in February, Hezbollah looked for the presence of explosives, two people familiar with the matter said, putting them through airport security scanners to see if they triggered alarms.

Nothing suspicious was reported.
The devices were likely set up to generate a spark within the battery pack, enough to light the detonating material, and trigger the sheet of PETN to explode, said the two bomb experts, to whom Reuters showed the pager-bomb design.

📸 It is estimated that there are dozens of impacts in northern Israel

However most were in open areas, causing a physiological effect, but limited material damage and negligible effect on the Israeli army.

But the key point here is denying the sense of safely as long as the war in Lebanon continues, and this is what's happening.
