I do think BAC is just a shell company created to facilitate this hideous plan. I also don't think Gold Apollo is directly involved, I believe the company just recklessly sold its name for use to BAC, never thought it will be used for terrorism activity. In fact, I don't think Gold Apollo is manufacturing anything, it is probably just a company that outsource its production. I strongly believe the production either happened in secretive in Hungary or Israel and supervised or maybe even manufactured by Israel agents. It is not hard to rent a warehouse to assembling couple thousands pagers and walkie talkies. They could even ordered batches of finished products and just added the bomb in their secret warehouse. Btw the walkie talkies are Japanese brand, I think. I don't think the Japanese company will sell their brand for use like Gold Apollo did. Maybe Israelis set up shell distributor company somewhere and ordered batches of walkie talkies from Japanese companies, modified them and distributed them to Lebanon. This is actually brilliant but also pure evil, they just don't care whether they will kill civillians en masse or not.

Israel seemed like out of control and don't really care anymore about the world opinion. Israel seemed very confident that their hold on US politicians are rock solid, which probably true. The US has become a lame duck spectator on the middle east issue. The Israelis ignore it, and the Arabs have lost the trust and confidence in the US. Those Arabs, they are no match for Israel's tactics and strategies, and can only compensate through tenancity, which the Israelis themselves also have plenty.

The Israelis and the Arabs are fighting Asymmetric warfare, and the collateral damage could be terrifying. It is a good learning experience for outsiders though on what to expect from future warfare.
