Hezbollah, the powerful Iranian-backed Lebanese movement, accused Israel on Thursday of hacking into surveillance cameras in homes and businesses in southern Lebanon and asked residents to disconnect the devices.

“The enemy recently hacked civilian cameras connected to the Internet and installed them in front of homes, businesses and institutions in front-line villages,” Hezbollah said in a statement.

The Shiite movement, allied with Hamas, accuses Israel of using images to attack its fighters.

Since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas on October 7, the border between Lebanon and Israel has become 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 Agence France-Presse tally.

On the Israeli side, four civilians and at least nine soldiers were killed, according to army figures.

Israel warned that it was ready to intensify its military action if Hezbollah fighters did not withdraw from the border.
