Alleged Mossad Involvement in ⁢Lebanon Explosion Sparks Tensions

Beirut: A recent explosion in Lebanon has raised‍ suspicions‌ of Israeli involvement, with Hezbollah accusing Mossad,⁣ the ⁣Israeli spy‍ agency, of planting explosives in callers purchased by the organization.

The‌ incident occurred ​after nine people were killed ​and around 3,000 injured in an accident where ‍callers exploded. Hezbollah claims that Mossad planted‍ the explosives in the callers, ​which were bought ⁣from Gold‍ Apollo, a company based in Taipei,⁣ Taiwan.

However, ​Gold Apollo has ​denied any involvement, stating that the⁣ callers were not produced by their company. The company’s founder, Hsu Ching-kuang, said that the ⁤pagers​ damaged in the blast were manufactured by a company ​in Europe and​ only had‌ their⁤ brand ⁣name on the pager.

Modified⁣ Callers and Explosives

Hezbollah ‌started using pagers due ‌to concerns about eavesdropping on mobile phone communications. Lebanese sources⁤ suggest that​ Mossad may have ‌modified the callers during their‍ construction, placing‍ a table containing explosives ⁣inside ‌the devices.

According to Hizbullah, when​ a message from the leadership reached‍ the callers,​ instead of passing the instructions, the table containing the explosives⁤ was detonated. The ⁢explosives, which were reportedly⁣ three grams in each ⁤caller,‍ were not detected despite being used for months.

Hezbollah’s Response ⁣and US Involvement

Hezbollah has ⁢stated that Israel was ‌behind the ⁣attack and has‍ vowed‌ to retaliate.‌ The organization believes that the Israeli attack was not aimed at individuals, but rather‌ at promoting the country.

As tensions between Hezbollah​ and Israel escalate, the United States has denied‍ any involvement​ in ⁢the incident. The US ​has stated that it is gathering ⁢information on the matter and has‍ no role ⁢in ⁣the conflict.
