Lebanon is reeling from terror attacks blamed on Israeli intelligence targeting Hezbollah. Handheld communications equipment makers are in damage control mode after explosions across Lebanon. Gold Apollo and Icom Incorporated are implicated in the attacks, with their products being used as explosive devices. Gold Apollo’s pagers and Icom’s walkie-talkies were reported to have exploded.

Other electronic devices like home solar energy systems, car batteries, electric scooters, laptops, and iPhones were also involved. Apple has faced criticism for past incidents of iPhones catching fire or exploding. Speculation suggests batteries from third-party suppliers may have been involved in the attacks.

The attacks highlight the risks associated with electronic devices being used for malicious purposes. The extent of the attacks underscores concerns about device safety and raises questions about the involvement of different companies in such incidents.
