Taiwan, as well as Japan, distance themselves from any involvement in the pager and walkie-talkie attacks in Lebanon.

The devices, according to photos and video of the aftermath of the attack, appear to be IC-V82 transceivers made by Icom, an Osaka-based telecommunications manufacturer.
But Icom says it hasn’t produced or exported IC-V82s, nor the batteries needed to operate them, for 10 years.

The West calls it the sole Democracy in the “Middle East” – a Democracy which has been engaged in a brutal occupation of the Palestinian people since 1948. A Democracy based on state institutions does not commit crimes that are usually attributed to ISIS and other terrorist wings.

“Just wondering how y’allfeel about lsrael not only blazing a trail in injecting spyware like Pegasus into our phones so governments can bump us off, but now establishing a precedent for turning those same phones into mini-bombs.”

The Times, citing U.S. and other officials, reported that Israel had carried out the operation, which it said entailed hiding explosive material in the pagers. (Israel hasn’t publicly claimed responsibility.)  – The New Yorker report.
