Hezbollah, the powerful Lebanese movement backed by Iran, accused Israel on Thursday of hacking into video surveillance cameras in homes and businesses in southern Lebanon and called on residents to turn off those devices.
“The enemy recently hacked civilian cameras connected to the internet and installed in front of homes, businesses and institutions in frontline villages,” Hezbollah said in a statement.
The Shiite movement, an ally of Hamas, accuses Israel of using the images to attack its fighters.
Since the war between Israel and Hamas began on October 7, the border between Lebanon and Israel has been the scene of daily exchanges of fire between the Israeli army and Hezbollah.
In total, more than 150 people were killed on the Lebanese side, most of them Hezbollah fighters, but also more than 20 civilians, including three journalists, according to an AFP tally.

According to the army, at least four civilians and nine soldiers were killed on the Israeli side.
Israel has warned that it is prepared to step up military action if Hezbollah fighters do not withdraw from the border.
