"Icom, a Japanese manufacturer of radio equipment, said in a statement on its website Thursday morning that it produced the IC-V82 handheld radio from 2004 to October 2014 and shipped it to overseas markets, including in the Middle East, during that period. But there had been no shipments since the model was discontinued about 10 years ago and the production of batteries to operate the unit had also been discontinued, the company said."

I think this is an Icom IC-V8 VHF transceiver (or the UHF equivalent). Very common usage as they can be programmed with commercial/first responder/ham radio frequencies. Looks to me like the batteries were the attack vector; I guess they were supply chain compromised Lithium Ion + special Mossad trigger/explosives batteries.
