Israel says warplanes struck hundreds of multiple-rocket-launcher barrels; White House spokesperson says US is ‘afraid and concerned about potential escalation’

The president and founder of the Taiwanese pager company linked to pagers used by Hezbollah has been questioned by prosecutors and released, as the hunt for the origins of devices that detonated across Lebanon this week spreads across the globe. Gold Apollo’s president, Hsu Ching-kuang, has said his company did not manufacture the pagers used in the attack on Tuesday, and that they were made by a Budapest-based company BAC which has a licence to use its brand.

He was questioned in Taiwan on the same day that Icom, a Japanese communication equipment maker whose walkie-talkies are thought to have been detonated in a second wave of attacks on Wednesday, said the units used may have been a discontinued model containing modified batteries. In Taiwan, Hsu declined to answer reporters questions as he left a Taipei prosecutors office late on Thursday. Taipei prosecutors have not issued any statements so far about their investigations into Gold Apollo.
