A woman, who is 49 years old and originally from Italy and Hungary, is smack in the middle of contention. She is linked to a collaborative pager attack in Lebanon which was strategically focused on Hezbollah member.

Cristiana Bársony-Arcidiacono has not appeared publicly since the deadly attack that targeted Iran-backed Hezbollah and that has been widely blamed on Israel.

The woman whose company was linked to thousands of pagers that exploded in Lebanon and Syria this week is under the protection of the Hungarian secret services, her mother told The Associated Press on Friday.
