Israel's relentless aerial bombardment and ground invasion have killed at least 21,320 people...
On Thursday Hezbollah accused Israel for hacking Lebanon's CCTV cameras installed outside homes and shops in southern Lebanon and urged residents there to take the device offline.
The powerful Iran-backed armed group accused Israel of using the footage to target its fighters and urged Lebanese citizens to "disconnect the private cameras... from the Internet".
The Israel-Lebanon border has been rocked by escalating exchanges of fire, mainly between the Israeli army and Hezbollah, since the Israel-Hamas war broke out on October 7, raising fears of a broader conflict.
Hezbollah said Israel had hacked the camera systems to gain visibility after the group's cross-border attacks had "targeted most of the cameras" Israel had installed near the border.
"The enemy has recently hacked into civilian cameras connected to the internet and installed in front of homes, shops and institutions in frontline villages," a Hezbollah statement said.
More than 150 people have been killed on the Lebanese side, since the cross-border hostilities began most of them Hezbollah combatants but also more than 20 civilians including three journalists.
In Israel at least four civilians and nine soldiers have been killed, according to figures from the military.
Exchanges of fire have been largely confined to the border area, although Israel has conducted limited strikes deeper into Lebanese territory.
Until Hezbollah militants withdraw further from the border, Israel has warned that it will increase military actions.
Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas in retaliation for the October 7 attack, which left about 1,140 people dead, mostly civilians.
At leat 21,320 people have killed due to Israel's relentless aerial bombardment and ground invasion, mostly women and children, according to Hamas-run Gaza's health ministry.
