A senior officer in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned that the region was on the brink of war following Israel’s airstrike, which he called another major crime. He raised the possibility of a widening conflict, suggesting that Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and even Iran could be targets. The United Nations also expressed concern about the escalating situation, urging diplomacy to prevent further devastation.
While Israel concentrated its efforts on attacks in Gaza, the assault continued with a strike on a Hamas command and control center in Gaza City, resulting in numerous casualties, including women and children. Meanwhile, Lebanon grappled with the aftermath of attacks involving explosive devices linked to Hezbollah, prompting investigations in various countries where the devices were traced.
In Hungary, authorities conducted interviews with the CEO of a Budapest-based company connected to the pagers used in the attacks. Taiwan-based Gold Apollo, which supplied the pagers, confirmed working with the Hungarian firm but claimed to be an intermediary. In Japan, Icom, the brand associated with the walkie-talkies used in the attacks, denied manufacturing the explosive devices, emphasizing the need for safety and peace of mind in the use of communication tools.
The global concerns over escalating conflicts in the Middle East, combined with investigations into the origins of the explosive devices used in recent attacks, highlight the urgent need for diplomacy and efforts to prevent further violence and devastation in the region.
