Pentagon and pager company deny involvement in Beirut attack
Pentagon spokesman Air Force Major General Patrick Ryder has denied that the US had anything to do with the pager attack in southern Lebanon.
In Taiwan, the founder of Gold Apollo, the pager brand, has clarified that the brand is used by other manufacturers and that his company had nothing to do with the tampering of the devices.
Hezbollah has blamed Israel for the death of nine people and vowed revenge after the simultaneous explosion of thousands of pagers used by the proscribed terror group in Lebanon on Tuesday.
Thousands of people were injured in the attack, with 200 people said to be in a critical condition. Hezbollah said Israel would get its “fair punishment”.

00:00I'm sorry to interrupt.
00:02Sorry.
00:04You can come over here.
00:09In the past 3 years, we have established long-term licenses with BAC.
00:20We have a partnership with BAC, and a cooperative agreement with BAC.
00:26So basically, I have authorized the trademark of my company.
00:38So this product is not a product that Apollo should have.
00:45It's a product that I authorized for them to put a label on.
00:56I don't have any details to provide on the reports of the pager blast.
01:01I can tell you, to my knowledge, there's no U.S. involvement in this at all.
01:07Again, it's something that we're monitoring.
01:10And in terms of potential escalation, I go back to what I said earlier
01:15in terms of a key focus for this department and the U.S. government writ large
01:20on working with partners in the region, to include Israel,
01:25to prevent the conflict between Israel and Hamas from spiraling into a wider conflict.
01:32And that includes the tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border.
01:36So we'll continue to strongly advocate for a ceasefire and the release of the hostages,
01:41and we'll continue to strongly advocate for a diplomatic resolution to the tensions.
