Between yesterday and today, Israel has launched what is perceived by many people around the world as an international war crime by the hacking of pagers and cell phones utilized by the fighters of Hezbollah and causing them to explode. The reason why this is considered a war crime is because it unnecessarily places civilians in harm's way. Reckless actions like this by Israel does nothing but degrade the nation of Israel through the eyes of the international community. It was reported that well over 2,800 pagers and cell phones (and counting) have exploded and indiscriminately subjected thousands of people to being either killed, maimed, or nothing short of collateral damage.
Within the last couple of hours, it was also reported that another 400-500 people across Lebanon were either killed or seriously injured by a second wave of attacks from Israel’s cyber-terrorism campaign. Israel's actions fall under the designation of terrorism because according to United National Security Council Resolution 1566 (International Law), Terrorism is defined as:
“Criminal acts, including against civilians, committed with the intent to cause death or serious bodily injury, or taking of hostages, with the purpose to provoke a state of terror in the general public or in a group of persons or particular persons, intimidate a population or compel a government or an international organization to do or to abstain from doing any act.”
The manufacturer of the AR-924 pagers that were weaponized by Israel to carry out their cyber-terrorism campaign was brokered by a Turkish firm whose name is “BAC Consulting KFT”. This is not to be confused with “Gold Apollo”, the firm whose name was simply branded on the pagers. It was reported that they supplied Hezbollah with both cell phones and pagers roughly 5 months ago; exactly how Israel was able to logistically “cut” into the supply lines of this firm is still unclear. Many suspect that “BAC Consulting KFT” which was established in 2022 and owned by 49-year-old Barsony-Arcidacono, although labeled as a “Consulting Firm” served as nothing more than a shell company for Israel.
What’s known about Barsony-Arcidacono, is that she has provided “consulting services” for the European Commission, the EU’s top executive body, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). It was reported by Hungarian authorities that BAC Consulting KFT “a trading-intermediate company has no manufacturing or operations in Hungary.” Currently, Barsony-Arcidacono cannot be located.
