An Israeli shell company, BAC Consulting, has been linked to the deadly pager explosions in Lebanon, according to the New York Times. The company, which concealed its operations, is reported to have manufactured pagers with explosive-laced batteries for Hezbollah. These devices, first shipped in 2022, detonated recently, killing at least 20 people and injuring hundreds. The explosions were allegedly planned by Israeli intelligence to disrupt Hezbollah’s communications. The incident has sparked outrage and fears over compromised security in Hezbollah's network, prompting demands for accountability and heightened scrutiny of supply chains.
