Japan's Icom said it was highly unlikely that wireless devices that exploded in Lebanon were the company's products.

Pictures of the walkie-talkies used by Lebanese armed group Hezbollah that exploded on Wednesday showed labels reading "ICOM" and "made in Japan".

"In light of multiple pieces of information that have been revealed so for, chances are extremely low that the wireless devices that exploded were our products," Icom said in a statement dated on Friday.

Israel said on Thursday it had secured an $8.7 billion aid package from the United States package to support its ongoing military efforts.

The package includes $3.5 billion for essential wartime procurement, which has already been received and earmarked for critical military purchases, and $5.2 billion designated for air defense systems including the Iron Dome anti-missile system and an advanced laser system.

Israel is currently fighting on two fronts, against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
