The leader of Hezbollah meanwhile vowed to keep launching rockets into Israel despite this deadly sabotage attack earlier this week.
Bulgaria and Norway became new focal points on Thursday of a global hunt for who supplied Hezbollah with the thousands of pagers that exploded in Lebanon this week in a deadly blow to the militant group.
One theory is that the pagers were intercepted and hooked up with explosives after they left factories. Another is that Israel orchestrated the whole deadly supply chain. The owner and CEO of BAC Consulting, Cristiana Barsony-Arcidiacono, did not return multiple requests for comment by phone and text message.
A lawyer, Vladimir Kuzmanov, who said he represented the company, was present at the address but declined to respond to questions when approached by Reuters on Thursday. Norta’s founder, Rinson Jose, is based in Norway. He declined to comment on the pagers when reached by phone and hung up when asked about the Bulgarian business.
Norway’s domestic intelligence agency, PST, said it was aware of the situation and declined to comment further.The leader of Hezbollah vowed Thursday to keep up daily strikes on Israel despite this week’s deadly sabotage of its members’ communication devices, and said Israelis displaced from homes near the Lebanon border because of the fighting would not be able to return until the war in Gaza ends.
